Metro League Division 6
Tymon Park

Tallaght played their first game since the Christmas break as they took on St. Mary’s College in the Metro 6 league in Tymon Park.

Second placed Mary’s were well fancied coming into the game and they scored early to take a 7-0 lead. But Tallaght competed well for most of the first half with skipper Jordan Corrigan and Daithi Moloney putting in strong shifts. But Marys scored two tries late in the first half to lead 21-0 at the break.

Unfortantely Tallaght’s lack of substitutes told in the second half as Mary’s were able to bring on fresh players as Tallaght tired. Mary’s ran away with it ultimately but the score would have been even worse if it wasn’t for a couple of superb try-saving tackles from Alex Sadiku.

Tallaght’s stand in coach, Mark Keogh, praised the players’ effort despite the scoreline. “We were up against a strong side, but the lads fought hard right to the end. I want to thank a couple of players Ciaran Stewart and Willie Lambe, who togged out today for the first time in a while as we were short of numbers. It was also great to see Antonio Cunha make his debut for the team”.

Keogh was filling in for Head coach Adam Nolan who couldn’t attend due to the recent passing of his grandmother Essie. Everyone at Tallaght RFC extends their deepest sympathy to Adam and the Nolan family at this tough time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
