Enniskillen progressed to the next round of the towns cup after putting Larne to the sword.
\nThe visitors were met with a changed team from their previous league encounter with Captain,
\nRichard Connor replaced by young Patrick McCleery at scrum half and Alistair Duncan made way
\nfor Zach Charlton on the wing.
\nThe conditions were not favorable for either team and the crowd that gathered was not expecting to
\nwitness a flowing game of rugby.
\nEnniskillen were first to break the deadlock after a sustained amount of pressure and scrappy play in
\nthe visitors \u201c22\u201d. The ball was recycled a number of phases and with advantage being played, Chris
\nMcVitty deftly slotted through a chip for Nigel Johnston to collect and slide over out wide, for the
\nfirst try of the game. 5 \u2013 0 to the home side.
\nThe next score came not long after, as Enniskillen’s play began to improve despite the poor
\nconditions. It was a brilliant running line taken by Nigel Johnston cutting through the Larne
\ndefense to nearly score again, but through unselfishness decided to pass five meters out. The play
\nwas halted, but quick thinking from debutant McCleery saw him snipe down the blind side of the
\nruck to score again outwide, his first try in a Enniskillen 1
\nst
\n XV jersey. Johnston failed to convert
\nbut ‘Skins had doubled their advantage.
\nThis would be the last score of the half with Enniskillen finishing the better side.
\nLarne fought back in the second half, converting two penalties from silly infringements by
\nEnniskillen, thus closing the gap to just four points.
\nHowever ‘Skins got back on track and the next score came from Robbie Murray, who chased a
\nbrilliantly weighted kick, again by McVitty, to score under the posts and Johnston added the extras.
\n17 \u2013 6.
\nThe Enniskillen set piece was working well despite the conditions and along with the accurate
\nlineout throwing of the recently returned Ryan Cathcart, the scrum was also getting the better of the
\nvisitors’ pack. This was evident when Gavin Parke picked up from a five-meter scrum to power
\nover under the posts for a try which Johnston converted to increase the lead to 24 \u2013 6.
\nThe final score came from a finely worked play, moving from left to right, that saw Murray grab his
\nsecond try following great support work, sealing a 31 \u2013 6 victory.
\nEnniskillen\u2019s performance was improved immensely from the Omagh defeat and players such as
\nJamie Johnston, Nigel Johnston, Murray and debutant McCleery, to name just a few,all played well.
\nEnniskillen will hope to continue their history of good Towns cup runs and progress further in this
\ncompetition.
\nEnniskillen now have two big league games ahead of them in succesive weeks against the top two
\nsides in the league and the results in both will determine their league status. They travel firstly to
\nBallyclare next Saturday and all travelling support is welcome. Kick-off 2.30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
