gave quality ball to the backs who had the edge on their opponents for most of the afternoon.

A lot of work has gone into the set-pieces over the past month and the fruits of this are appearing.

There is a better balance in the back line with Killian Lett at 10 and Ivan Poole at 12. Brothers Arthur and Richard Dunne both impressed on their first starts this season.

This bonus point win now moves Enniscorth­y up to fourth in the league. They play Monkstown at home in the Ross Road next Saturday at 3 p.m.

Enniscorth­y: Angelo Todisco (Tom Farrar, 75), David Murphy, Paddy Waters (James Doyle, 75), Joe Bulmer (Glen Deacon, 60), Joe Carley, Murt Kehoe (David Shore, 70), Jim White, Nick Doyle, Arthur Dunne, Killian Lett, David O’Dwyer, Ivan Poole (capt.), Daniel Pim, Ivan Jacob, Richard Dunne. Unused sub. - Michael Farrell. UNDER-16 GIRLS Enniscorth­y 42, Naas 19: Naas had eleven girls for this Leinster Under-16 Premier Division 1 qualifier on Saturday, so home side Enniscorth­y matched that figure.

Enniscorth­y started very well and scored a try within the first ten minutes and also converted.

Five minutes later they crossed the line to score a second try which was also converted with ease.

Naas didn’t give up and got their first try in the 25th minute and converted it.

The Slaneyside­rs ended the half with another two tries, also converted, to establish a 28-7 lead.

The second-half was all to play for as a very strong Naas team got their second try which was also converted.

After great tackles from both sides, Enniscorth­y broke free and with a run of the century got their fifth try and the conversion was added.

Naas didn’t give up and scored their final try. The team effort of the amazing Enniscorth­y girls was just superb, and they scored their sixth try with mighty strength from each girl. Another conversion followed.

The play and turnovers from the Enniscorth­y girls was just magnificen­t.
