Newry RFC Notes: Ladies I XV 14 v 8 Castlebar!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VVVVIIIICCCTTTOOORRRRYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Win for the Ladies today.
After a shaky start which seen them trail 8-0 Newry kicked it up a gear to reduce the deficit to 8-7 going into the break.

The second half saw a revitalised side with Newry bombarding the Castlebar line for the entire second half.
Six times the Mourne Ladies went over the line only to be called back for:
1: foot in touch prior to touching down.
2: Held up (Poor positioning from the ref meant he missed the ball clearly being grounded)
3: Knock on ( again the ref was wrong side of the action and missed it actually being hit by the castlebar winger not the Newry Wing.
and Held up Legitimatly 3 times by a determined Castlebar team.

It seemed it wasnt to be Newrys day as wave after wave was held back by a Castlebar team who would not stand down and tackled ferociously on their line for nearly 15 minutes.

With five to go Newry finally made their hard work count switching the play to the right where they easily crashed over for a much deserved try.

A Conversion off the post meant Newry entered the final minutes leading 14-8. Castlebar tried to rally in the closing minutes but the Newry Side were too strong with everyone facing up and making their tackles.

A great game of Rugby to watch with a great result for the fans who braved the artic conditions.
