Interprovincial: Connacht U19 28 Ulster U19 27

, , ,

Ulster U19 fell to a narrow one-point defeat at the hands of Connacht this afternoon at Maynooth University in their final game of the U19 inter-provincial series.

Tries from Reece Malone, Reuben Crothers and Tom Stewart weren’t enough despite Ulster taking a 19-7 lead ten minutes into the second half.

Ulster made a great start to the match with Luke Pollock gathering an excellently weighted kick off from Malone. Front foot ball was supplied to the forwards who kept making yards before the Ulster out half crossed. Malone’s attempt to convert his own try was unsuccessful, leaving the scores 5-0 after three minutes.

Ulster had to suck up a lot of pressure in the match with Connacht controlling most of the possession and territory. Captain Crothers crashed over for his side’s second try after great defensive work.

Connacht managed to cross for their opening score on the half time whistle. Scrum half . . .
