A game of two halves for Virginia RFC U15 XV & Girls tag team off to Dundalk

A game of two halves for Virginia’s under 15’s.

Virginia RFC – 26
Portadown RFC – 0

Virginia U15’s played Portadown at home on Saturday last December 3rd on a very cold morning. Portadown were a much changed team from the previous fixture causing Virginia plenty of problems in the early stages of the game . The team was very slow to start with the backs spilling a lot of ball due to cold hands. However, when Virginia eventually got their act together there was no stopping them and they took control of the game from there out. This allowed the home side to use their full panel of players giving everyone a game.

Virginia are away to Armagh on Saturday next December 12th. Hopefully we can continue our good run of form for the remainder of the League and qualify for knock out stages of the competition.

Virginia ran out winners on a scoreline of 26 – 0. Try scorers on the day were:
Daire Mc Enroe , Niall Farrelly , Ian Goldrick and Ben Conaty. Conversions were by Jason Mc Mahon (2) and Daire Mc Enroe (1).

Back: Edith lynch, Dessie Higgins, Ellie smith, Ciara Byres, Amy Whitley, Rebecca Warren, Nicole fibly, meagan Higgins, Ciara brown, Caolinn McCormack, Leona McNally. Front: Clara lynch, tara o’leary, Sara Whitley, Meagan grimes, Meagan Brodie
