Kukri League & Conference
\nA very entertaining game played in good conditions saw a strong Dungannon
\nside get a good start against a game young Carrick side. Carrick came back
\nwell after the bad start but the more experienced Dungannon backs upper
\ntheir game to run out comfortable winners
\nDungannon started well when an angled kick by Jaryd Bennett was collected by
\nDarren Simpson who quickly offloaded for Mark O\u2019Shea to run over for the
\ntry. Michael Lawton converted with a well judged kick in the third minute.
\n0 \u2013 7
\nCarrick quickly replied with a mighty penalty from Jonny Sheriff
\n3 \u2013 7
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nA good line break by Peter Smith came to naught due to a lack of support.
\nThen quickly recycled ball was taken on by Paul Jackson who kept on going
\nbreaking a couple of tackles before diving over for his first Dungannon try
\nafter fifteen minutes. Michael Lawton converted with another well judged
\nkick.
\n3 \u2013 14
\nAfter twenty minutes Jaryd Bennett sparked the next score when he broke into
\nthe Carrick twenty-two with a show and go before taking the tackle and off
\nloading to Mark O\u2019Shea who went over for his second try.. Michael Lawton
\nadded the extras.
\n3 \u2013 21
\nTwo minutes later Carrick out half Aaron McKinney took the ball on the burst
\noutside the Dungannon twenty-two and scored a great try under the posts
\nalthough questions must be asked of the Gannon defence. Jonny Sheriff added
\nthe extras.
\n10 \u2013 21
\nSheriff was first short and then hit the post with two fine long range
\nefforts before a successful forty plus metre strike on forty minutes. This
\nwas followed by another penalty in injury time reducing the deficit to five
\npoints.
\n16 \u2013 21
\nA Jonny Sheriff penalty miss at the start of the second half saw
\nDungannon\u2019s Chris Swann and Paul Jackson run out of defence up to the
\nCarrick ten metre line.
\nOn fifty minutes Dungannon benefited from a Bennett touch in the Carrick
\ntwenty-two. A drive initiated by Steven Sinnamon saw Sinnie finish off the
\nmove with a final surge. Michael Lawton converted.
\n16 \u2013 28
\nFollowing a good Michael Lawton penalty another Dungannon counter attack
\nfrom Michael and Brian Simpson took play into the Carrick twenty-two.
\nDungannon maintained field position and following a Peter Smith drive
\nMichael Lawton went over between the posts for a self converted try after
\nfifty-five minutes.
\n16 \u2013 38
\nCarrick were unfortunate to lose a player through injury but it did not
\ndiminish their spirit. However the extra man told in the end when Jaryd
\nBennett burst through and scored a good try on seventy-five minutes. Lawton
\nagain converted and his immaculate kicking in a tricky cross wind was a
\npleasing feature of the evening.
\n16 \u2013 45
\nAnother Dungannon attack was turned on its head on eighty minutes when Jonny
\nSheriff plucked a pass meant for Brian Simpson out of the air and ran sixty
\nmetres for a well deserved try.
\n21 \u2013 45
\nA good game to watch with both sides trying to open the game up. Dungannon
\nhad that bit more experience where it counted with Jaryd Bennett able to
\ncontrol affairs. <\/p>\n
