BUCCANEERS 33 CARRICK-ON-SHANNON 5
Carrick-on-Shannon U-16s travelled to Athlone on Sunday to play a challenge game in which Buccaneers took the opportunity to make 12 changes since the League final. Carrick were strong up front and gave Buccs defence a thorough examination. Buccs were making progress out wide and an early try was matched by the visitors.
Playing some nice open rugby the experimental Buccs side eventually won 33-5 with tries by Elliot Friel (2), Adam Murphy, Viktor Rello and Sean O’Hara with Friel converting four. Best for Buccs were Niall Robinson, O’Hara, Viktor and Friel.
