CRFC U15s 48 Ballymoney U15s 10<\/p>\n

Carrick U15s secured another league victory at Tom Simms Memorial Park against a spirited Ballymoney on Saturday morning.
\nA five try first half haul allowed the home coaches to introduce the bench early on in the second half & although this allowed the visitors the luxury of two consolations tries the result was never in doubt.<\/p>\n

Again the play was built on a strong Carrick scrum & an efficient lineout which gave the backs time & space to freely express themselves.
\nAs early as the first minutes of the game the home front row laid down a marker taking Ballymoneys scrum feed against the head, Rory Magill who had another fine outing added to his tight head total as the game progress & once again weighed in with a thunderous turn over tackle later in the game.<\/p>\n

Sam Wallace was mischief maker in chief & his break allowed forward pressure which resulted in Corrie Kelly crossing for another of his trademark tries.

\nA strong scrum on the right allowed Carrick to execute a planned move for Matthew Fisher to crash over before Wallace brought the forwards to within striking distance.<\/p>\n

The out half then took advantage of quickly recycled ball to dot down to the right of the ruck, he then converted his own try. <\/p>\n

Fisher crossed again shortly afterwards with Carrick firmly in control & the visitors all at sea.<\/p>\n

The ever industrious Jake Gardener got his reward for his first half endeavors with a well taken try<\/p>\n

Half time Carrick U15s 27 Ballymoney 0<\/p>\n

The second half started in dramatic fashion with the forwards giving great chase to Wallace\u2019s kick off, the Ballymoney reception was disrupted by the arriving Carrick forwards & the ball found its was into Fishers hands for him to run unopposed behind the posts for his hat trick of tries.<\/p>\n

Wallace added the bonus points.<\/p>\n

The Carrick coaches introduced a raft of changes right away with the very patient Carrick replacements getting vital game time.<\/p>\n

As often happens this can take the impetus out of the game & it took a while for several players experiencing new positions to get their bearings.<\/p>\n

It was quickly back to business however with quick ball being moved left, Dylan McDowell was as usual running good support lines & his angled run against the grain saw him cut through a wrong footed Ballymoney defence.
\nThe winger scored below the sticks allowing Wallace to add the conversion.<\/p>\n

The home coaches then another made a host of merry go round positional changes with forwards & backs interchanging & being asked to operate outside their comfort zone.
\nOne such change saw Fisher running in the outside half channel on a route one ball for him to complete the try scoring and gifting Wallace the conversion points.<\/p>\n

Ballymoney to their credit kept playing & scored two late tries against a much changed finishing Carrick XV. <\/p>\n

It was most pleasing to see a sizeable gallery of family, friends & other club supporters on the touchline cheering on the efforts of this talented group, the team & coaches are most grateful for that continuing support.<\/p>\n
