Carrick 13 BANBRIDGE U17s 53November 13, 2010
Bann U17s travelled to Carrick on Saturday to take on the bottom of the table team in what proved to be a one-sided affair. Even with four of their regular squad unavailable Bann proved too strong for the home side. Although it was an impressive scoreline for the U17s they did not play well as a team and it was largely down to individual efforts that they got their scores. Ryan Graham's pace was too much for the Carrick backline and he scored two great tries. Peter Cromie continues to show he is a class finisher as he too touched down twice. Captain Jonny McCreery's strength and aggression also saw him cross the line twice and Kyle McConnell showed the defence a clean pair of heels to score from 50 metres out. Adam Doherty chipped in with a great solo effort and added five conversions. The team played well in fits and starts but a much tighter performance will be needed against Ballynahinch this Saturday if the current run of wins is to continue. The man of the match was Doherty who ran, tackled and kicked superbly. His try-saving tackle just before the final whistle, with his team 40 points ahead, showed his 100% commitment to the cause.
