Killicomaine Junior High School U13s 0 – Down High School Under 13s 52

By Paddy Browne

On Saturday Down High Under 13 A's travelled to Killicomaine Junior High hoping to add another win to their increasing tally.

The first score came from a 'crash ball move' executed perfectly with powerful running by Zac Ward; Paddy Browne converted. Ward was soon on the score sheet again with an intercept try which Browne converted. Try number three began with a five-metre scrum from which Terry Hutley received quick ball and proceeded to dance his way around the Killicomaine back row to score a fine try. Paddy Browne was unable to convert this time. Shortly afterwards Rory Horder unfortunately had to leave the field with an injury, but was replaced by Michael Harper. Further tries were scored by Angus Ferris, Marcus Graham and Jonny McCoubrey - all showing great pace; Browne added the extras on each occasion.

The second half started with a period of Killicomaine pressure which was dealt with by the ever-abrasive back-row trio of Porter, Canning and Ward. However Down High were quick to cross the line again with tries by Paddy Browne, Adam Brown and Clayton Milligan; Browne converted all three.

Credit must be given to the Down High 'pack' who week-in and week-out work tirelessly to produce quick ball for the backs. This was another satisfying result for the Under 13 boys who returned to County Down in great spirits.

Man of the match: Paddy Browne.
