Waterpark 3 - 35 Monivea
Monivea hammered
Waterpark in some style with a 5 try victory
on Saturday. The
Connacht Junior champions travelled to
Waterford for their AIL play off game and
produced their greatest performance for
many years. From the first whistle
Monivea's defence made the hard tackles and
forced Waterpark to make mistakes, in
attack Monivea were awesome with blistering
pace throughout the backs Monivea punished
every dropped pass and knock on by making
yards and putting points on the board.
Leading 21 - 0 at half
time many feared Monivea would ease off in
the second half & let Waterpark back
into the game, instead Monivea put
Waterpark to the sword with 2 more
converted tries. Ian Murphy kicking all 5
conversions, while Waterpark could only
manage a converted penalty. With an attack
on form Monivea's defence was equally as
good. Countless times they overturned
Waterpark ball at rucks and stole lineouts.
The pack dominated in the scrums all
contributing to a fantastic victory.
With
all going to plan on the pitch, Monivea had
their extra man in the fantastic support
they received from their supporters of all
ages, 2 buses and countless cars made the 4+
hour trip and they never stopped singing
and encouraging the players from the first
whistle to the last..
Alas
Monivea were defeated in the boardroom
& will have to do it all again in the
coming season. Fingers crossed Waterpark
play as well as they did last season and
the dream rematch can happen.
