The Tallaght’s men’s team travelled to Swords to play their final Metro Division 8 fixture of the season.

Player/coach Adam Nolan and Jordan Corrigan scored two quick-fire tries for Tallaght and Luke Maher converted one of them to give Tallaght an early 12-0 lead. Corrigan scored his second try of the match but Swords hit back with a try of their own to make it 17-7. Then Ian O’Donoghue marked his return from injury to score a try which Maher converted to make it 24-7. Colin Morrison scored a try to make the half-time score 29-7 to Tallaght.

In the second half Tallaght kept dominating and Luke Maher scored a try and converted it himself to make it 36-7. A penalty try and a Evan Tyrrell try, converted by Maher, made the final score 50-7 to Tallaght. The win puts Tallaght ahead of Swords in the table and means they won’t have to contest a relegation play-off.

Head coach Adam Nolan was proud of his team. “It was a strong performance across the board. A performance that really showed how good the squad is when we have numbers. It gives hope to the group that if we can get the buy-in for the cup, we could be real contenders to push on and challenge. Everyone stood up in a big performance and that is something everyone can be proud off. But it does lead us to wonder what if we had the commitment all season how different the year could have been”.
