Yesterday evening, overcast and gloom, rapidly became a downpour as Ireland Legends took on England Legends at Malone RFC.
The event was initiated by Ireland’s Rosie Foley as part of the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup with donations at the match contributed to the DEBRA and Wooden Spoon charities.
The first 20 minutes had a ‘non contact’ element with ‘bibbed’ players from both sides going to ground, when touched.
Ireland took a deserved lead, when after a number of phases, left wing, Paddy Kelly scored behind the posts. Rachel ‘Psycho’ Reid converted to give Ireland a 7 – 0 lead.
England started to dominate possession and territory and it was no surprise when right wing George Roberts scored in the corner. From far out Ceri Large kicked a fine conversion to level the score.
