Friday January 18

Barnhall 15 – 9 Lansdowne J3s

A Friday night away fixture against league leaders promised to be a challenging encounter and so it proved.

The margin of six points might have even flattered us a little as another measure is that they scored three tries to our tally of no tries and three penalties.  But for the fact that Barnhall tended to over elaborate their running moves, frequently missing the last pass, the margin might have been greater.

After the comfortable win of the week before, this was a disappointing but salutary experience for the group, as we prepare for the cup and the remainder of the league.

Onwards and upwards.
