Waugh brace sets up U15s win Share
BANBRIDGE U15s 26 Ballynahinch 12November 20, 2010
What a difference a week makes. For the first time this season Bann attacked from the off. The mobile forwards, playing an off-loading game varied the point of attack and had ‘Hinch in defensive mode. It was not long before the impressive Thomas McRoberts crashed over near the posts to score, Cameron Cromie adding the extras. The forwards & backs were now combining well and after a period of sustained pressure Josh Chambers scored his first try at this level. James Waugh gathered a loose ball in mid field to scorch over for a well taken try and Cromie added a third conversion to leave the score 21-0 to Bann at half-time. The second half saw ‘Hinch come more into the game through their impressive No 8 and it was not long before they scored a close range try to take the score to 21-5. Bann playing a fifteen-man game made great ground especially through the outstanding Alexander Megaw. Bann also had the edge in the lineouts with David McElroy in control. After quick ruck ball James Waugh was put in possession on the ‘Hinch ten metre line. He hit the after-burners and scorched in for the best try of the match. With the game effectively over ‘Hinch grabbed a consolation try to leave the final score 26-10 Bann's favour. This was an improved team performance with special mention for Lee Jackson and Jake Dennison at prop, Michael Moore playing his first game at out-half and finally winger William Wilson, who is improving with every game.
‘Hinch started to vary their game with well placed kicks but the outstanding Zac Chambers dealt with these comfortably and turned defence into attack.
