This was a deserved lead but a series of silly penalties allowed Instonians back into the game and they replied with a straightforward penalty. &#8216;Skins did many good things in the first half but unforced handling errors and needless penalties conceded prevented them from adding any further scores.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half &#8216;Skins sought territory through the accurate kicking of Allister and put pressure on Instonians as they sought to run-back the ball. Skins\u2019 backrow of Johnny Wright, Graydon and Ross Finlay started to dominate the rucks enabling the forwards to set up a series of good drives into the visitors territory, resulting in one maul of fully 30 metres to the line and a try for Wright. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Skins managed to continue their pressing game and this directly led to an Allister penalty, but it was a Neill intercept try ten minutes from time that put the game beyond the visitors reach. <\/p>\n<p>A spirited Inst. team never stopped trying and got a deserved try at the end to leave the score 20 &#8211; 8. <\/p>\n<p>This was a morale-boosting win for the seconds which was achieved on the back of an all-round team effort which should give encouragement for the matches ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/intouchrugby\/Enniskillen2ndXVVInstonians3rd23Oct10#slideshow\/5531520138068720690\"> Have 36 photos here of Ennisklillen II v Instonains III CLICK HERE To View a slideshow fo the images courtesy of Stephen Hetherington, clogher Valley Photography E: stevehetherington@yahoo.co.uk<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enniskillen 2nds welcomed Instonians on Saturday, still seeking their first win of the season, and having lost narrowly to them earlier in the season, this was a match that t&#8217;Skins wanted to target for two vital points.
