Pan Munster U16


Nenagh had a very comprehensive win against Shannon under lights in Nenagh on Friday night.

Nenagh were first to score with a great individual try by Shane O'Donoghue, and it set the tone for the remainder of the game.

Further tries by Craig Kennedy and Evan Jones, a penalty try and another try by the visitors left the score 24–12 to the home side.

A few changes were made at half-time, and we continued where we left off.

Further tries followed from JP Cahalan and Enna O'Shea, along with five conversions by Jack Comerford, 

This was a great team performance, with backs and forwards linking well.

Dan Daly had the game of his life with some massive carries. Liam O'Meara never put a foot wrong all night, while Michael Cullinane put in a great shift. Finn Morris and Sean Carroll in the second row never put a foot wrong all evening.

Our back row of Tiernan Dillon, George Graham and our captain, Eoin Hogan, were excellent.

Christopher Ryan and Jack Comerford were excellent at half-back.

Evan Jones had the game of his life with some great carries and dominant, bone-crunching tackles. Our wingers, Michael Slattery and Shane O'Donoghue, were excellent, and Enna O'Shea was very sound at full-back.

JP Cahalan was introduced at half-time and had a massive impact on the game. Dan O'Brien and Conn Foley, when introduced, played their part in the win, as did Brian Laye, Jack McLoughney and John Duggan.

Overall, this was a great team performance, with a few things to be ironed out on the training pitch.
