The Lansdowne U13 squad entertained St. Mary’s RFC on the back pitch this morning in the Autumn sunshine for the Leinster Metro Grading Match.  Both teams were really up for what became a competitive and engaging fixture.  Lansdowne showed some great determination in retaining the ball and getting it wide to where we could do the damage at pace.  Tries by Fintan Lydon (2) and Josh Byrne (1).  Points kicked by Bobby Colbert.

Not letting go of the Match, St. Mary’s bundled over for a try in the second half and earned a penalty for an offiside infringement.

FT Score Lansdowne 24 – 5 St. Mary’s.
