Sat past saw the u17s travel to coleraine for a round robin tournament involving the host club plus Limavady & ballymoney. Larne were hampered by unavailability & injury but still travelled with optimism of competing well.<\/p>\n
First match was against the home side coleraine who are a premier league team & this was proven in the opening 10 mins as they raced into a 10-0 lead. Larne eventually woke from the slumber & a break by stu Andrews from his own 22 saw him score a superb solo try which he converted. Larne pressed hard but were denied by the clock in what was a ding dong battle.<\/p>\n
They were straight out against ballymoney next but fitness told in addition to losing their main man luke burford who suffered a knee ligament injury & had to retire. \u2018money took full advantage to notch 3 tries to no reply in a 15-0 win.<\/p>\n
Larne kept their best to last with tries by star man Andrews (2) & jack finley who is starting to excel in his new role as a 7. Andrews kicked all conversions in a fine 21-7 win in what was a very enjoyable tournament.<\/p>\n
The lads had an afternoon at leisure at portrush whilst watching glenn Wilson ride the waves on his surfboard.<\/p>\n
