Trinity 2nd XV win through to Semi Finals
05/02/2006

Trinity 29pts Lansdowne 20pts

With the 1st XV and U20s resting up. The Trinity 2nd XV took venture stage with their quarter final league match with a very strong Lansdowne XV full of very experienced players.

 

 

 

Trinity started the game well scoring three tries through Robbie Burns Richard White,  and Mark O’Neill in the first twenty five minutes to run up a 19-0 lead. The students were very clinical every time they came close to the Lansdowne line. The backs and forwards attacked at every opportunity and played some superb rugby in the opening period. Lansdowne came back with a score right on half time. 19-5 Trinity.

 

 

 

In the second half with the breeze Lansdowne dominated possession and field position.

 

The student defence scrambled well to stop most of the Lansdowne attacks. Lansdowne did drive over a line out half way through the half. Crucially Trinity scored off the restart when off a scrum move #8 Tim Jago showed a surprising turn of speed to run in from 30 metres, Mark O’Neill converted.

 

 

 

Lansdowne came back with more attacks and closed the score to 26-20 with five minutes to go. Trinity showed great resolve in coming back to get field position. They attacked through the phases and out-half Gareth Murphy kicked a sweet drop goal with Lansdowne defenders hanging all over him. The home team held out for a truly memorable win.

 

 

 

Trinity now go into the open draw for the semi final. This was a huge lift for the club and Damien Quinn’s boys came up with the goods.

 

 

 

15 Colm Coyle, 14 Malcolm Balfour (Shane Monahan 55), 13 Paul Gillespie, 12 Tom Burns, 11 Ronan Doherty, 10 Gareth Murphy, 9 Mark O’Neill, 1 Dave Rowe, 2 Cian Culliton, 3 Killian O’Neill, 4 Conor Queenan (Callum Keaveney 65), 5 Declan McDonnell, 6 Robbie Burns, 7 Richie White, 8 Tim Jago.

 

 

Next week; the 1st XV travel to Queens University 12 noon. The U20s play UCD in the McCorry Cup at College Park 3pm on Sunday.
