MUNSTER U-16 CUP GROUP 2 Killarney 5 Sundays Well 10

KILLARNEY came up short against Sundays Well in Aghadoe last Saturday Killarney defended stoutly for most of the first period as Sundays Well took the game to the home side. Mark Sheehan, Donnchadh Grealy and Tomas Clifford all made try saving tackles. Eventually the Sundays Well winger crossed the Killarney line to give them a 5-0 half time lead.

Following a good restart and line out win, a Jose Ferrero break and off load resulted in Mark Sheehan levelling the score for Killarney. Sundays Well only foray from their half in the second period, saw them scoring the winning try after they reacted more sharply when the ball rebounded off the post from a penalty and their impressive centre scored wide on the right.

Although Killarney had several chances to snatch the win, a lack of experience cost them in the finish. Denis Koyun and Gary Randles were outstanding for Killarney.
