\nSome confusion in the Inst defence was pounced on by Paul Magee and the Home
\nside were lucky to survive. Then another promising Inst attack was covered
\nby Jason Bloomfield. On seventeen minutes the Inst pressure paid off when
\nHugh Flanigan sent Chris Henderson over for a try. Nicky Finlay converted to
\nclose the gap to two points.
\n10 \u2013 12
\nDungannon were dominating and a Paul McKenzie break looked dangerous,
\nalthough Mark O\u2019Shea overran the ball carrier Paul Magee was on hand to
\nlink and slip the ball to Michael Lawton who powered away for a try on
\ntwenty-five minutes.
\n10 \u2013 17
\nGreat work from O\u2019Shea and Lawton brought play from the Dungannon
\ntwenty-two into the Inst twenty-two, the recycled ball looked dangerous but
\nInst managed to crowd the Gannon attack out of play. However Inst conceded a
\npenalty that Michael Lawton dispatched.
\n10 \u2013 20
\nWith half time approaching Dungannon needed to convert their dominance into
\npoints. Thankfully on thirty minutes, following good work by Michael Lawton
\nand Glen Sinnamon, Paul McKenzie raced in from twenty metres out. Lawton
\nadded the extras.
\n10 \u2013 27
\nThree minutes into the second half Mark O\u2019Shea put some purpose into a
\nDungannon attack as he danced through the Inst defence and sent Stuart
\nMcCloskey away for a score.
\n10 \u2013 32
\nOn fifty minutes Mark O\u2019Shea got his reward when he took a pass from Jason
\nBloomfield on the ten metre line and powered through the Inst defence for
\nthe try of the match. Stuart McCloskey converted.
\n10 – 39
\nOn the hour mark Inst tried to break out of defence but fumbled the ball,
\nthe quicksilver Bloomfield gathered and sprinted over for a try. Stuart
\nMcCloskey converted.
\n10 – 46
\nDungannon then had a wake up call when they made a hash of the restart,
\nfortunately Stuart McCloskey showed great strength to regain possession and
\nthwart Inst\u2019s attack. Paul McKenzie broke out of defence and passed to
\nKieran Campbell who very swiftly slipped the ball to Rowan Halsall. Rowan
\nbrought play into the Inst half but without support the move broke down.
\nHowever from a quick scrum Bloomfield fed David Egner. The flying winger
\nraced away for his first try in the blue and white on sixty-five minutes.
\n10 \u2013 51
\nOn sixty-five minutes Richard Fegan got reward for his efforts when he raced
\nthrough a gap to score for Inst, Nicky Finlay converted.
\n17 \u2013 51.
\nGood work from Jaryd Bennett brought play into the Instonians twenty-two.
\nAlthough Inst gained possession they fumbled the ball and when Stuart
\nMcCloskey was held Derek Hall was on hand to take the ball over for the last
\ntry of the match in the seventy-second minute. McCloskey converted.
\n17 – 58 <\/p>\n

A good opening performance by Dungannon with the entire squad contributing
\nto the win. Scrums were good, Paul McCarroll provided a good lineout and
\nCraig Miller was the unsung worker in the pack. The back row was excellent.
\nJason Bloomfield was hungry and the backs were impressive with newcomers,
\nJaryd Bennett, Paul McKenzie, David Egner and Mark O\u2019Shea playing a
\nsignificant part in the win. <\/p>\n

Next Saturday we are at home to Malone and Justin Fitzpatrick emphasised
\nthat we must look ahead. \u201cThe win over Inst is history now, Malone always
\ngive us a difficult game and they will be smarting after being beaten by
\nQuins. We have a talented squad, and that is what it is, a squad. It is a
\nlong season and we shall need everybody to contribute over the next eight
\nplus months if we are to retain our Ulster titles and go one better in the
\nAll Ireland competitions.\u201d <\/p>\n
