The Letterkenny travelled to enniskillen with a full squad of young players made up from mini 11 and 12.
\nJust to note, This was the first time many of the team played full rugby rules .
\nConor McMenamin captained the team and what a captain he is. From the start Letterkenny attacked with young Charlie Worth and Ben McGarvey before the ball reached Connor McMenamin who handed off quiet a few Enniskillen players to touch down for a try.
\nLetterkenny kept running at Enniskillen, Charlie and Connor ran in three more tries. Up stepped Oran Winston Barrett to take over the kicking to great effect. Letterkenny leading well at half time.
\nEnniskillen came out for the second half with more determination and attack after attack Letterkenny defended with young Dean and Evan duddy to the front. All replacments were on at this stage with a first game for Jill Mc gettigan who acquitted herself very well.
\nThe game was in the balance with 5 minutes remaining but Letterkenny were up to the challenge and some great team work brought the game up to the Enniskillen 22 till eventually the ball reaching young Connor who closed the game off with another super try for 31 to 17 result.
\nSome great sub. Replacements by coach Billy McKinley was called upon and proves to be a strategic advantage in the game.
\nA note of thanks to all the parents who travelled to Enniskillen and for the hospitality to Roci Allan and his Enniskillen Squads
\nFrom the coaches point of view this team was put together at the last minute and went out and defeated a much fancied Enniskillen team.
\nIt again shows the quality of young players this club has.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
