3s Dismantle Visiting Larne Side
3rd XV Extend their Lead at the Top of the Table
Minor League Premiere.
Enniskillen 3rd XV 41 Larne 3rd XV 7
Enniskillen welcomed Larne to Mullaghmeen on Saturday looking to stretch their lead at the top of the table. Skins scored 7 tries on the day, Curtis Coalter used his blistering pace to score twice in the first half, Fitzpatrick added another try shortly after to put skins in command. But sloppy defence seen the visiting scrum half waltz his way through attempted tackles, scoring, to leave the score 19-7 to Skins at half time.
The Enniskillen men raised their game in the second period. Wilkinson, Balfour, Anderson and Hill were the Skins try scorers, after the 7th try was scored the match official summoned both captains to suggest blowing the match up early as the visitors were down to 12 players.
A good performance from Skins scoring 7 tries in an hour against a big and physical unit of a team. However, the next 2 matches for Skins will define their season and in that, wether the team can retain their Ravenhill Cup or not. They start with a trip to Magherafelt on Saturday to play Rainey 3rd XV, a side who Skins have beaten twice this year already, but knowing an improved performance is essential in order to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
