Enniskillen Girls defeat strong combined outfit
Enniskillen U18 24 Clogher/armagh U18 17
ENNISKILLEN U18s girls took on a very strong combined Armagh and Clogher Valley team on Sunday at Mullaghmeen.
The standard was set very high in the first five minutes when superb handling and offloading by the Skins girls sent Scarlett Keys away wide on the 22 and she finished the opening try under the posts with the conversion added by Victoria Benson.
Armagh replied pretty quick out wide with a well worked pick and go try but it was not converted.
A midfield scrum was then won by the Skins girls and Chloe Moore broke off the back of the attacking scrum and broke the gain line before offloading to the supporting Scrum half Aimee Ross who showed pace to run in the try from the 22 and scored under the posts. Benson converted again.
Armagh scored again with their pick and go working really well. Unconverted again, but at half time Skins led 14-10.
Armagh/cv started the second half strongly with a tap and charge try from another penalty under the posts after the first five minutes.
This was their only time in front on the scoreline.
Skins hit straight back after a lung bursting run up the middle and under the posts by Keeva Corry, the conversion was missed but the home side led 19-17.
The last word was to be in the final minutes when great handling again seen Victoria Benson use her power to score in the corner.
Tough conversion missed and a final score of 24-17 in Enniskillen’s favour.
