Enniscorthy back on track
Emphatic win in Wicklow
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.
