U15s score victory over strong Westport
In perfect conditions at Hamilton Park on Saturday Sligo U15s continued their unbeaten run with another emphatic win over a strong Westport side.
Sligo started the stronger side and controlled most of procession throughout the first half.
Tries from King, Broaders, Cregg and Marren put Sligo 22 points ahead at the break.
Sligo brought on all their replacements in the second half and scored four more tries from Cregg, King and Scott.
Westport got their consolation try five minutes from the end which put the final score 49 - 7 to Sligo.
The standard of rugby was fantastic from both sides, in particular the defensive work from Sligo in the second half when Westport were camped on the Sligo line.
Sligo’s fourth try from Brian Marren was the score of the game. It was the result of a phase of up to fifteen passes all started by prop Damian Cullen.
Man of the match was Dáire Cregg who scored 16 points in this very entertaining game.
Unfortunately Sligo picked up injuries to two key players Bob Reynolds and Daniel Ford during the game but both are expected to make a full recovery.
Other stand- out players include Max King, Michael Broaders and Damian Cullen.
Next match is scheduled for the 5th of November away to Claremorris.
