A match that showcased teamwork and committed performance.
The match got off to a competitive, back-and-forth start, but Bruff RFC opened the scoring with a converted penalty just under halfway through the first half. Aidan Hickey soon added a converted penalty for Clonmel RFC, before Jack Dempsey crossed the line for Clonmel’s first try.
Bruff RFC added another converted penalty to narrow the gap, but Clonmel extended their lead when Sean McEntegart scored a try in the closing moments of the first half, bringing the half-time score to 6–15.
Ten minutes in, in the second half, Billy Coffey crossed the line for Clonmel RFC. Bruff RFC fought back with a converted try, but Liam Maher then showcased his skill with an impressive try for Clonmel RFC.
With five minutes remaining, TJ Slattery added a try to the scoreboard, followed by Sean McEntegart, who crossed the line for his second try in the closing moments of the match.
Dean Slattery put in a solid performance with the boot!
The final score was 13–45 to Clonmel RFC – a result that reflects great reward for great effort.
We would like to thank Bruff RFC for hosting us and for an exciting fixture, with good support and atmosphere around the pitch.
