Super Ligue Reserves (May 28th 2011) - RUGBY


The second grade put out a strong performance in a comprehensive 45-0 win over the visiting Ottawa Indians. A very good outing by the forward pack and some excellent decision making from Yann Fortin at 10 had the visitors on their back foot from the start. After only 5 minutes the forward pressure opened up gaps in the defence allowing Andy O’Kill over for his first score of the game. Five minutes later outstanding speed and determination from Anthony Isabella saw him touch down for the homeside and with the conversion, the Irish were up 12-0 ten minutes in. The game continued to be played in the Indians half with the Irish tackling well and not allowing the opposition to mount any threat into their half. On 20 minutes the Irish scored their third try on a beautiful line run from the centers. The remaining 20 minutes of the first half were spent inside the Indians half, but no points were scored.

The second half started as the first did with the Irish applying massive forward pressure on the Indians. After only 2 minutes Stephen Albers on his birthday crossed the line to score the fourth try for the homeside. The dominance continued through the half with the Irish running in three more tries including a beautiful intercept try by Yann Fortin from 40m on full time.
