New Ross 17 – 38 Carlow

In their Leinster League game in New Ross on Sunday Carlow gained a bonus point 38 points to 17 pts win. In doing so the Carlow side avenged a loss to the same opposition four weeks back.

From the off on Sunday it was obvious that Carlow had the upper hand in the pack, especially with the Byrne Bros Alan and Ross along with Larry McGrath in the front row. This translated into a early penalty try which was followed by James (Puddy)  Nolan darting in for the second try. Both tries were converted by centre Jeff McDermott who also succeeded with three penalties giving Carlow a 23 points to 7 lead at halftime. New Ross’s score came from a try resulting from a penalty attempt which bounced back off the Carlow posts.

Both sides traded penalties early in the second half bringing the score to Carlow 26 New Ross 10. New Ross followed with a converted try to get within nine points and the Carlow supporters feared that a New Ross double against Carlow was on the cards.

However the Carlow forwards resumed their supremacy. Conal Slater, introduced from the bench, added extra surge to Carlow’s play leading to props Larry McGrath and Alan Byrne squeezing in for two late tries. This gave Carlow a bonus point win which should boost the confidence of this young side.

New Ross are left only with the consolation of local hero Tadgh Furlong being part of Ireland’s World Cup squad, a fact well postered in the Club and in the town.
