Waterpark suffered their second league defeat of the season when a last minute penalty gave Clanwilliam a 25 – 22 win in Tipperary town on Sunday last.

Waterpark raced in to a nine point lead with three penalties from John Flynn. Clanwilliam were soon ahead though with a penalty followed by a try a conversion. Waterpark scored a good try from Murray Kinsella after some fine play by the backs. Flynn added the extra points with the conversion. Niall Gilhooly kept the score moving with a drop goal, 19 10 to Waterpark. Clanwilliam hit back with 2 penalties from Brian Kissane to leave the score at 19-16 to the visitors.

The seconds returned to winning ways in Ballinakill last Sunday with a 29 point win over Dungarvan. Tries by Eddie Quann, Jonathan Frisby and Geoff Deegan. Deegan also kicked 3 conversions and a penalty in a 14-point haul for the out half.

Waterpark got their league campaign back on track last Sunday with a hard fought victory over Galbally.

Waterpark started brightly with a penalty after two minutes from John Flynn.

Donal Kavanagh added a drop goal on four minutes.

Galbally were soon level with two penalties after Waterpark were caught offside and for not releasing in the tackle.

Galbally had an edge in the scrums and their pack was winning the battle upfront. However when Waterpark moved the ball wide the home team looked the more dangerous. With five minutes remaining on the clock in the first half a very high and dangerous tackle on Collie Walsh by the Galbally centre led to a red card.

A try in injury time ended Waterpark’s unbeaten run in the league.

Waterpark began this game in good fashion with two John Flynn penalties giving the visitors a six point lead.

Skibbereen hit back with a try from wing forward Declan Coppinger to leave the score at 6-5.

Paul Hackett was sent to the sin bin for a high tackle and soon after the Waterpark scrum came under increased pressure from the big Skibbereen pack.

The Cork side had a lot of possession but could not convert their efforts in to points with the visitors putting in good work in defence.

Just on half time Flynn kicked another penalty to relived the pressure on Waterpark’s defence and give the away side a 9-5 lead.

Waterpark maintained their unbeaten run in the league with a 24-11 victory over Old Christians in trying conditions last Sunday.

Playing against the elements in the first half Waterpark got off to a dream start when from a lineout on the Christians five metre line Ally McCormack emerged with the ball to score the games opening try. Conor Mangan kicked the penalty for the home side to leave the score at 5-3 after 10mins. Some good work by the forwards led to a penalty opportunity after 30mins but John Flynn was wide with this effort, however he made amends ten minutes later with a penalty into the wind after Christians were caught offside in midfield.

Waterpark led at the interval 8-3 having played into the wind.

Sunday last was a terrible day for rugby with both driving rain and wind but City ground out an important win on the road to maintain their third position on the table after three games played.

It was the pack which laid the foundations for the win getting the upperhand in the set piece and City’s kicking game was far superior especially in the second half when needed most.

Douglas played with the wind advantage in the first half but only managed one score from a penalty early on. City defended well generally in the half being well marshalled by scrum half Liam McCarthy and some lovely angled kicking from Aaron Foskin against the wind.

From a rare visit into the Douglas ‘22’ hooker Colin Lynch scored a try in the corner after the forwards hammered away at the Douglas line which eventually wilted. City kept that lead of 5-3 to half time and now had wind advantage.

Waterford City Ladies defeated Fermoy last weekend by five points to nil in a match played in horrendous conditions.

Fermoy came into the game unbeaten for over a year but were kept firmly pinned down in the early stages in their own half with some good kicking from Orla O’Neill and great tackling and counter rucking from all 15.

This pressure eventually paid dividends as City won the ball back from a Fermoy knock-on and from the resulting scrum City held onto the ball and went through phase after phase which eventually put second row Patrice Barrett over the try line for the only score in the game.
