Dundalk 2nds celebrate their Leinster League success in Enniscorthy
It was a day to remember for Dundalk Rugby Club as both their first and second teams clinched the league title in back-to-back games in Wexford.
The Mill Road men’s first team won the Leinster League Division 1B despite losing out to Enniscorthy on a 17-16 scoreline with their losing bonus point proving crucial in the end as the hosts needed to win by eight or more.
With the wind at their backs in the opening half, three Ultan Murphy penalties had Dundalk 9-0 up at the break but the home side showed they were not willing to roll over when they landed a converted try shortly after the restart to cut the deficit back to two.
A missed penalty from Murphy at that point looked like a big moment in the game but things seemed to turn in Dundalk’s favour when Enniscorthy’s Killian Lett was sin binned for a high tackle on Johnny Williams before great pressure from the try line saw John Smith get through for a try, which Murphy converted to leave it 16-7.
Enniscorthy refused to throw in the towel though with a try three minutes from the end, which Ivan Poole failed to convert.
They then added a second try right at the death to take the lead but Poole’s conversion at this stage mattered little as the league title was already Dundalk’s. Enniscorthy might have won the battle but Dundalk won the war as they landed only their second firsts Leinster League title following a similar success 20 years ago, adding to the All-Ireland Junior Cup title they already clinched earlier this year.
The second team had earlier won only their second ever Leinster League title after a 20-10 victory over Enniscorthy. Having led 11-10 at the break, the Mill Road side held their opponents scoreless in the second half to complete the first part of what proved to be a superb treble for the Club on the Hill.
Dundalk 1sts: Stephen McGee, Owen McNally, Chris Scully, Michael John McKevitt, Ultan Murphy, Jonathan Williams, Thomas Campbell; Jonathan Gray, Tu’ipulotu Nuku, Robert Farrell, Paul Meegan, Mike Bentley, James McConnon, David Whately, Ene Fa’atau.
Dundalk 2nds: Daniel O’Connell, Rory O’Hagan, Derek Williams, Chris McGeady, Aaron Kernan, James Shields, Simon Byrne; Kieran McCabe, Sean Arrowsmith, Will Lauaki, Robin McGee, Chris O’Hanlon, Laurence Steen, Ciaran Lennon, Tiernan Gonnelly.
