You can see in the front row uh we have from the last game we have Howard Nunan at Hooker Steven Smith of course last night with the arish under 20 starting having a great game for them uh so again at one Harry Nan at two Howard Nunan at
Three Cronin gleon of course well known to Cronin recently uh brought into the Irish clubs training squad for their game against Portugal in March uh captain in the second row by Ruben Pim and Shane colie the back row of kahal Kelly Josh Pim returning from injury and the everpresent eper vescent
Will Fay at eight nine with Ben Stevens 10 the metronomic kicking of on Morgan on Manan sorry on One Wing we have Sam Burns then in the centers we Fergus jrey of course the hot stepper Alex Malloy himself at 13 at 14 Nathan randles and of course an
Attacking threat at 15 young Tom lark on the bench today we have Dan o’ Conor Sam Kenny David Muer Li O’Neal Ian Cassidy looking to make his 102 AOL start and Keith kavana the book Anders team unfortunately we don’t have graphics for the books team today but we’ll run
Through it here anyway I have the program in my hand at one Charlie Ward Charlie of course an underage interprovincial player at two oen Dolan at three Martin ston the ever experienced Martin ston at four F MacDonald at five Ken mccan six Ryan Oma seven kah Walsh and eight Matthew
Victory what a name matchu victory at nine Captain the side from the Shannon Siders is Frankie Hopkins 10 Mickey Hanley 11 Tom shine 12 Mark Earl 13 the vastly experienced Shane Laden 14 of course another under agent provincial player Joshua Conor I know Josh well
Josh from w I See’s parents in the crowd here today and 15 Connor o shaky on the bench we have Dylan Bulger James Kelly finan Murray Gavin Daly Jensen Nagel and Ross Murphy Sweeney again six places are separating both these sides in the league and six points incident sorry four places and
Six points are separating both these sides in the league old Wesley on Sixth in 33 and Buccaneers uh on 17 points uh in 10th position in the league so Buccaneers coming here looking for a must win to try and keep stay out of that relegation battle with Queens for
The automatic relegation spot but also Wesley are looking to get back inside that top four places Wesley are a good 23 points off first but are only four points off second so again you know that one B League it’s tight at the top so both teams are making their way back
Into the sheds and with that we’ll just have a quick word from the club we are old Wesley we are coaches and volunteers we are kids of all years we are designated drivers and honor Strivers we are Training Day Drillers and last minute Thrillers we are big match days we are early

Extraordinaire we are power and pace and bruised bone face we will always thus be the spirit of rugby we are here because of you and because of your unwavering support thank you Q 130 years a club for Life old Wesley 1891 again old wesle a club for Life uh so as we wait the teams to come out onto the pitch we have a couple of seconds so with that in mind we’ll just have one last word from our sponsors before to start of the game Every interaction every Innovation every Connection every little thing we do at ptsb is built upon on a better understanding of you and it all comes together to create a banking experience that’s alt together more Human ptsb all together again a massive thank you to our sponsor mon ptsb again ptsb all together more human without their support we couldn’t have bring you these games for free week in week out from the home so as we get set for kickoff our referee today is uh poric
Greedy from the monster branch of referees uh poric a vastly experienced referee at this level and again it’s going to be an interesting game here today so this fixture over the last number years has been split with the home side winning the majority of those games you know Wesley haven’t been able
To buy a win down in Buccaneers and Buccaneers have generally uh come up second here in Don Brook but I think probably baners have the more wins out of the two teams over the last five or six years probably just by one I would imagine again I need to
Look back in my notes and check here but we’re about to get ready uh Mickey Hanley here is about to get us underway at the start of this a division 1B round 13 game we’re off underneath that is Josh Pim Josh taking it into Contact out to Ruben pimp again another good carry there from Shane coli the young second row now manahan to lar lar has support the outside plays Burns Burns kicks it downfield will Fay is in Chase Fay makes the tackle with Stevens ball is there referee says
No now we have books on the attack Here big carry there by the big number five from bookaneers is Ken mccan plays out to the 13 into Josh OK Conor’s hands Josh feeds to the fullback OK Conor still available on the inside for him Wy now with a hard press makes the tackle behind the gain line Howard Nan’s on that
Ball again another big carry there by Ken M Ken mccan I was just about to say slow yardage being made by Buccaneers but now Wesley not rolling away and the infringement is given it’ll be an early line out here for bookaneers I imagine indeed Hanley opts to go to the corner and finds touch just inside the Wesley 22
So again Buccaneers line out is is quite vaunted in this league very well organized um they like to peel a little bit off at two so Wesley need to be alert Here it’s taken that two and there you go the pop out to the [Applause] runners big tackle made there by kahle Kelly for o Wesley K in the red scrum cap again not rolling away for Wesley Frankie Hopkins thinks about the quick tap but he doesn’t have the support around them now decisions here I think Calli straight away be go or sorry
Hy will be going to the corner again here as I said that line out to weaper is a weapon bookaneers like to use it’s cleanly taken Wes he just countered that drive with a little nudge towards the sideline Buccaneers need to be careful here they need to use it ball is
In the hands of the nine SP but goes backwards good tackle there behind the gain line by colie the second Row and offering himself to CI there is Charlie Ward Charlie of course former underage player with Lster Wesley now committing to the tackles here they just need to not give away any penalties again Josh Pim on that supported by Kelly Charlie Ward again with the Carry knocked on where he have it there’s numbers out wide here Tom Nar Ops to kick it we could get a 5022 and it bounces just into play Mark there by Burns good D there by Wesley getting out of getting out of yards in own line all the way up just
Outside of the Buccaneers 22 lar did have options but there was Defender one Defender there so he chose to kick ahead fol secure great breakway there by Martin ston but wesy have stolen it on the deck cron and gleon now with the carry wesy with the ball inside the Buccaneers half
For the first time Stevens is over it out to Monahan there’s numbers out wide if we can use it here not need it say jrey jrey then plays can’t see who he played there but Wesley now right up 10 yards from that Buccaneers Line knocked on in the ground apologies there if you can hear some explosives in the background okay first scum today let’s see how this one goes wer very narrow in defense here showing Buccaneers the outside almost Golding him into to have a pop from their own line pick from the e Matthew
Victory back to Hanley and Hanley clears just outside of his 22 so Wesley find themselves in good attack position again here so n and with to put in it’s a little bit messy con have stolen it it’s in the hands of Frankie Hopkins their Captain box kick here coming as the
Caterpillar’s being set up Wy drop back into a cover three formation taken by randles Rand to Lark lar has a look finds a half Gap gets through to play randles but it’s just a knock on Advantage has been playing Advantage is kicked away lar had a lot of time to see was in
Front of there it wasn’t a bad option to go the pass just a little little bit off so that’s something that we saw early from bookaneers there again they’re not flying up to the Wesley D very conscious of probably Alex Malloy on the outside if you press too hard on
Alex and if he gets that inside line on you you can be in trouble all day long so it looks as if bucaneers are hanging off a little bit in D here giving wesy a little bit of room forcing them to make the decision and then look to make the Contact so it’s an even split here two backer side for con and then the fullback and 10 right behind the scrum at zero wesy have a push on here Stevens with a tackle on the 10 Handley wesy tried to flood through but illegally so from the side is the call from our
Referee por greedy so Hanley will have the kick from right the middle of the park options out her side as only putting two on the line and here brings play just inside the Wesley half it’s been a lively enough opening uh eight or nine minutes here in Don
Brook full line out here as Charlie Ward comes in to deliver the call to oen Dolan stolen by Wesley forward off Buccaneers hand with the referee says play On big carry there by eight by the eight Victory ball over hanley’s head Wes he have to press hard here Malloy Hanley steps out of them he’s cut out wide where he now run that ball they leave [Applause] it ball is out bit messy it’s kicked away it’s touched by a Wesley hand
They’ve got to be careful here burns with the kick out from his 22 brings play maybe 15 yards up the field again there’s a lot of space there for burns to keep the ball alive and also kick him behind I guess Safety First in the opening stances of this
Game dlan with the put in goes over the tail Howard Nan grabs it sorry Harry Nan but loses in contact it’s an injury to the Buccaneers prop I think that was Martin ston just holding his arm treatment is going to come on for him now and wizy give away another penalty
Here penalty count four to none I think at this stage for against all Wesley they need to up their discipline a little bit here as Hanley the ball up to the 22 so again it’s another full line out here by Buccaneers Dolan now going going to the tail again it’s an overthrow this time Howard Nunan has it no problem o referee says knock on by wesy hand there he’s closer than I am so we’ll have to go with that okay so we’ll go with our second
Scrum third scrum of the game last scrum wesle he got a bit of a nudge on here so let’s see what’ll happen this time Joshua Connor’s come all the way out to the touch line on the stand side underneath us here so is in a free place
For a kick where he hav’t picked it up lar is hanging a little bit shallow towards the post so it’s good 30 yards to play with for Conor oh not sure the refer spotted the knock on but then it turned into a penalty anyway Victory there just didn’t quite handle the pick and pop so manahan now a chance to send Wesley up the park and he does with a monster monster touch finder all the way
Up just outside the Buccaneers [Applause] 22 so he’s with enough crowd here in Johnny Brook today uh SE Nations time can be harder to get people out but still a decent enough attendance the balcony’s full third game was off cuz apparently it was biblical rain out
In nice so the lads are up the balcony brought down Stevens is in to manahan out the back to randles to Burns Burns is luring his inside he UPS to go himself churning those legs as he moves forward pick and go there monan now to Gleason gleon takes it into Contact Cary now takes it in the young second row to Josh Pim Josh pass the first man keeps pumping those legs he’s all the way up to the five needs to be careful here not to be held up Wes he now a couple of yards short oh that ball
Needed to go to hand but it’s with Malloy malloy’s dancing his way towards the line Malloy just short recycles pops off where do he still have it here a yard off the line Stevens Nan acts his first receiver Nan tries to bur e way over the line
Ball is still there for Stevens this time it’s gleon steps up gleon with the leg Drive he’s going to be held up but he will recycle long ball out to Burns Burns steps in himself he’s got an angle at the line will he make it yes he [Applause] will great work there Bo
By S burns with an awful lot to do picked it up on the wing but then stepped in for Wesley’s opening score of the game okay so mon now with the conversion to come [Applause] again another solid conversion there by on Manan on is kicking in the high 90%
This season probably the highest percentage in the league I would imagine in 1B anyway for sure so Wesley after 15 minutes here have taken a 7 n lead over the visitors Buccaneers Hanley gets his back underway lar is under it lar Ops to go himself through three tackers he’s isolated slightly but wesy still have it no jre’s now to with the inside pass just wasn’t quite there Callie Now where’s he playing with good Tempo here in behind to lar lar sends it out
Wide to randles jeo again Jeffrey of course the former Sev player monin has enough of this and sends it downtown what a great catch by the Buccaneers fullback who had to put put on the brakes to stay in field Stevens ball drops into his hands like a gift from the Gods where he now again out to Malloy Malloy has a little bit of room on the outside plays Burns again Burns to clear patch of grass but two players in support on the inside will he give it oh and the ball spins forward in contact
Burns is on the the ground hands in the face he knew probably more should have come out of that probably should have given it a touch earlier but again great attacking phase there started by Alex Malloy who saw a little bit of a space on the outside sucked in the defender and freed
Burns Again Sam head down he knows something more should have probably come from that but hey it’s early in the game learn we’ll move on to quote lanis Mar said you live you learn so we restart here and bcers will have a scrum on the five to clear their lines Frankie Hopkins there just checking rules on offside linesman said he’s fine just put it in wesy now trying to get a nudge on but it’s locked out by books it’s at victory’s feet Hopkins out to the 10 oh it’s a knock on it wasn’t to the 10
Apologies it was to the 12 Mark Earl again good pressure from the scrum by Wesley forcing Hopkins to pass that ball from an uncomfortable position and Wesley will restart here with a scrum on the five so Sam Burns now is moved directly behind manahan nobody on the blind here
For Wesley all the backs are inside the scrum it’s a pick at eight by Fay out to Manan the ball goes for referee says lot of movement there in that Wesley line but the execution just a little bit lacking that Time as you can hear there the shouts on the wisley bench about next job keeping the focus on now where he with that chovan again putting Hopkins under massive pressure at the back of the scrum Hanley has it clears but he won’t find touch oh he does just
Barely fine kick there by Hopkins under massive [Applause] pressure so wesy looks at to go again here from their own half some running repairs to the Buccaneers hooker aen Dolan all looks to be okay just a bit of a a robe needed there so we’ll pause again while we pause well done to
Our Colts last night who solidified their place at the top of Metro League 4 with a 5713 win over rat farum the Lan Rugby Club last night so well done to chunk and the lads there are under 23s having a fine season in Metro 4 again while we have a moment we do

Be notified when those highlights are live and you can look back in all the highlights of all our games for the last couple of Seasons there too as well as some of our Junior highlights as well okay Howard nun ready to get us back underway folks have given Wesley the
Tail here will Wesley take it yes they will it’s over the top into Dolan’s hands again straight away 30 yards made here by [Applause] Buccaneers well you now need to maintain discipline here they’ve given away a lot of penalties in this area so far today Victory the eight takes it on Hanley has plenty of options outside of Him ball is out oh numbers wide here for Buccaneers can they use it great carry by Conor shot can see the full back Victory now has it the eight Buccaneers 10 yard short Hopkins has to skip over a few players Charlie Ward with the soft hands F by
The prop Buccaneers are just two yards short but Wesley have it and it’s a penalty for Wesley not releasing the referee says and it’s an out here for Wesley but again some fine attacking play there by Buccaneers a solid carry by o shockness the8 up the short side to bring them
Within a yard of the line sorry a shockness see the fullback I should [Applause] say okay so wle have their line out here it was kept in play but it was forward so the referee said no he was out time for Howard Nuna now to make amends for the last line
Out as I said Buccaneers were giving him the tail almost goting him into taking the tail and he did but the ball went over W he here full in this line out this time he goes to the back but it’s secured by pimp Wes he now mul It Forward Nan has
It at the tail where he still stay intact Howard gives it to his brother Harry Harry brings it forward but it’s turned over by book and it’s a penalty Wy off their feet after Buccaneers turned it [Applause] over Charlie Ward is down now just looking for a little bit of attention
Again so we’ll have a stoppage in play while Charlie gets a bit of running repairs again if you’re watching overseas or watching a funny place or a strange Place do put it in the comments let us know where you’re tuning in from it’s always good to hear a hello from our overseas viewers
[Applause] today and of course as we mentioned the buildup I can see Billy Nunan and Steven Smith in the crowd well done to the two lads who were involved in the Irish 20s I think escaped to Victory last night down in MERS getting away with a a very very late hardfought win
Again so Charlie Ward is coming off just to get a little bit of treatment on the sideline I’d say I wouldn’t say his day is done yet but probably a little bit more treatment and on for him is James Kelly so we’re restarting here with a Buccaneers line out from the penalty
Buccaneers going short this time the Heavies are outside Hanley playing Advantage here for a knock on the lineup baners are Victory now plays to the seven Ryan Oma Hopkins places the center I’m not sure that was deliberate it was a very low pop there by Shane leyen and the tackler was making the
Tackle and just got his hand in the way nice little move just the execution need to be a little bit Sharper All right so Hopkins ready to get his back onway here with his scrome victory picks and goes he’s got room in front of him to Hopkins out to Joshua Conor and it’s a high tackle there by payon o Conor where they need to watch out for these penalties they’re starting to
Really rack up here and Hanley sends sends books right down to the Wesley Line so a great attacking position here for Buccaneers as James Kelly’s giv the call to oen Dolan it’s taken in the middle there Dolan has it at the tail Hopkins has his hands on gets it free to Hanley Hanley steps inside the first tackle of cron and gleon high ball over the
Top put it’s forward leg call there by the referee or maybe may I just didn’t spot it so as he now with a chance to get out of here and we have another substitution on the buccaneer side off is the seven of kahal Walsh I’m not sure who came On so now Malloy looking to play out he’s got the inside Gap it’s a good tackle there by the Winger Oo I think Wesley may have gotten away with one there they lost the ball in contact the referee’s back the term so he presumed there was something naughty going on but I don’t quite think there was so again K Walsh came off that time and g d came on for Buccaneers and in
The last R Dy went into eight Victory went to seven time off here for another Buccaneers player to receive treatment it looks like it’s the hooker again Dolan Who’s down looks like he needs to get a bit of a stretch out so two substitutions so far on the
Bookan a side we have Charlie Ward who’s come off for James Kelly and as Ward do not come back on and the Seven kahal Walsh has come off for the 19 of Gavin daily again still a tight Affair here 7 nil with 31 minutes gone in the
Game 28 minutes on the stadium clock which has been stopped 31 on your screen to the tail to kah Kelly kah secures it in the red scrum capup wesy now inching Forward Nan still has it at the tail spins out he’s got Stevens in support he spins inside he’s still in his feet Stevens plays Captain Pim to Monahan inside ball to Burns Burns again for the second of the day under the post great little inside ball there from Fergus jrey to
Burns and Sam goes for second try of the day to make it a score of 12 n with a conversion to come which I’m sure monam will get to make it 14 n lovely little inside ball there to burs who still had a bit of work to do
But clean parir of heels to get in under the posts bread and butter for monan who makes the score 14 n here with 30 minutes on the stadium Clock so we’ve readjusted our onscreen clock there to reflect it andley gets this restarted pushes it towards the sideline Burns takes it in himself the TR scorer the double TR scorer now out to kie kie brings it Forward monan plays behind to lar lar sends it all the way
Up past halfway this ball needs to stay in and it does oh great kick by lar he got the bounce as well that brought him right up to the just outside the a 22 a matter of an extra bounce away from being a 5022 but a great clearance kick there by
Lar the young 19-year-old fullback of course Tom very unlucky not to be involved in the Irish 20s at the moment but uh word in the street is he is uh on the reserves should should he be needed where he have taken this line from buccaneer it’s there for
Stevens Oh I thought that was kicked Hanley just wants to get it out but he’s outside the 22 randles now under this one randles has room to run reversa goes back inside plays the captain Pim ball has managed to stay in field for wonderful kick there by Pim and it’s
Returned by the cover of Buccaneers Pim there bringing the training up the tracks with that little grubber kick up the line Nunan to the tail overthrow knock on though UNL for victory that’s a couple of overthrows for Harry today so w getting away with it though we’ll
We’ll restart here with a a line out sorry a scrum I took too many chots ahead when I was playing apparently so scrum here for all Wesley Just inside the Buccaneers half 20 in from the Sideline good shove there by Buccaneers putting Kelly under pressure and it’s a penalty for offside against bucaneers referee had his wrong arm up first I was wondering I was going to I was going to comment on the Strang of that call but uh referees corrected himself of course a referee here today poric
Greedy from the monster branch of referees so wzy now with a line out here it’s been a mixed day with the darts for Nan so far couple of fine throws to the tail a couple just over Wes have shortened it up Kelly Pim and Fay in the diamond formation outside of
Monahan a great throw over the top Monahan hits fay fay into the big tackle there by the sub daily Stevens looking for room caught in possession W he now need to recycle this as a pack of forwards gleon plays nine to kah Kelly kah Kelly pass the first
Tackler it’s a pick and go go by Josh Pim Pim four yd short Kelly at receiver again Stevens to manahan Monahan will play it behind here to Lark lar tries to step inside he’s tackled by two Pim again with the little tip on to Cronin Gleason cronin’s thinking about
The offload but he doesn’t he should get it down the ground which he does kahal Kelly again pumping those legs to within a yard of the line is he over yet he is K Kelly with the big leg driver to get over for Wesley’s third try of the
Afternoon Subs come in for the high fives referee says get out of [Applause] Here great rewards for Kelly there who was instrumental in that drive and play couple of big hit hit UPS from in the 22 and he was there for the last one and managed to pump over from five or six yards out Monahan here now with the conversion about four left in the half
On again three from three brings the score to 21 points to nil to Wesley with four left in this first [Applause] half again kick to the soil line well taken by PIM in the air there fine take by the captain ging that first receiver PPS to legs lar again with a low clearance kick probes into the 22 this one may run on a bit too long though oh all the
Way great kick the first time that one just a little bit overcooked by [Applause] Lark so K Walsh is back on and M Matthew Victory is off for Buccaneers and Ryo Mira playing eight calls a forward from the fans referee says play on wesi now just need to be disciplined here their defense has been very good so far today just don’t give away penalties Buccaneers recycling ball very well in behind Dy now recycles the ball dink over the top
That’s a great catch in the air Al Peter schmeichel by Sam [Applause] Burns but it’s a penalty against Wesley for not [Applause] releasing Buccaneers are back to where they were a few moment ago with a line out five yards from the Wesley line And it’s an overthrow but it’s still secure by Buccaneers KL Kelly’s on that [Applause] one correction Josh Pim had the latch there and that’s a score by Rhino Mira the six who’s now playing eight as victory is off just bounce off the first tackler and got in just on the cusp of
Halftime W he not getting it all their own way here in the first half and Hanley will see us into halftime with this Conversion and Mickey Hanley adds the extra for Buccaneers which makes it a halftime score in Donny Brook old Wesley 21 Buccaneers 7 so we’re going to have a quick break we hear a word from sponsors and we’ll be back Momentarily every interaction every Innovation every Connection every little thing we do at ptsb is built upon a better understanding of you and it all comes together to create a banking experience that’s all together more human take It would You ptsb all together more human we are old Wesley we are coaches and volunteers we are kids of all years we are designated drivers and honor Strivers we are Training Day Drillers and last minute Thrillers we are big match days we are early Sundays we are first to arrive because we live to
Strive we are part of Rugby’s history chasing the next Victory we are a family in unity we are your community we are pounding heart rates we are lifelong teammates we are stories told we are heart and soul we are Glory Days we are every day we are rugby Giants and postmatch

Bruised bone face we will always thus be the spirit of rugby we are here because of you and because of your unwavering support thank you 130 years a club for life old W again a massive thank you to our sponsors PTP ptsp check there up and follow them on social media
Ptsp it’s been an entertaining first half here in as we get set in the second half and baners showing that W to their own way score late last go before half time of course three tries of bra by S burs yes brace by S burs and one by and
Perfection from the bo of M I think discipline has been good by both sides Wesley probably guilty of giving away a few more penalties for just silly SL lazy infractions I would say uh and if they can cut that out they should be able to see themselves to Victory here today but
This game is far from over lot of talent in that bookaneers side and as they’ve shown on the counter when wesy make his mistakes they’ve been incredibly dangerous so we get set Wesley here will kick off for the second half playing into Wesley Clubhouse end I don’t see
Any changes on the Wesley side at halftime and I don’t see any changes in the Buccaneers side at halftime as I scan across of course we had two changes or several changes in the first half of bookaneer but at the moment Charlie Ward is off and James Kelly is on and the eighth
Mat mat mat Victory is off and Gavin Daly is on for him so on man here gets set to get us back underway for the second half it’s scattered by the bcks captain and nine Frankie Hopkins deep in the Buccaneers half Buccaneers fighting here not to turn this one
Over Hopkins trying to get the box here to alleviate pressure Wy now dropping two as long as the as well as the full back and Winger Burns thinks about the quick throw in but opts not to probably wise given the nature of this game Nan with the throw in crook a
Throw new’s had a mixed afternoon with the darts here so far today some fine fine throws and then a couple just just slightly astray again as I look through some of the halftime scores of the league halftime old Bel leading Highfield 17 points to S ner leading Black Rock 17 points to
14 one for one that will interest our viewers in atan you CC 20 Queens nil at halftime and St Mary’s are losing to gion at halftime 13 points to eight that’s your quick round the grounds for 1B W he seemed to have hooked this one but referee says no reset
As he gets set the reset here Hopkins gets ready with the put in for Buccaneers W he again with the shauan making it difficult for Frankie Hopkins at the base plays Len Len in behind Malloy goes ring and hunting Malloy seems to got it it’s a bit of a foot race through little bit of football being played Malloy will get there first and he
Does Malloy manag to dots down for Wesley’s opening try of the second half capitalizing on a mistake by Shane lyen who played a a pull ball a little bit too deep and went in behind the defender great alertness there by Malloy to get on top of that one Quickly and that’s Wesley’s bonus Point try so one point in the bag already today but still four more on offer and they are not guaranteed yet again Perfection from Monahan four from four today which makes a score of 28 points to nil for all Wesley here just at the start of the second
Half Hy now gets us back underway Pim G’s the captain Pimp’s been quiet in the loose today but it’s been doing an awful lot of work in the tight calling now at the carry tackle made by Victory who’s back on for Buccaneers out inside ball to Maloy oh
It’s a knock on just outside of the 22 W he playing with a bit of Adventure there but it turns into a bit of misadventure and Buccaneers are restarting here in a wonderful attacking position dead straight in front of the post just outside the 22 W go off scrum hard I [Applause] imagine the tri scorer picked ball is now forward Burns has it plays it in behind him referee says went backwards kah Kelly now has it the man in the red scrum cap Kelly bounced out the first tackle recycles to manahan out to jrey jrey plays randles randles out to
Howard Nan Howard Nan is on the wing Howard N is Trucking up the wing great work by the hooker who steps in probably should have given the ball he’s still going oh that could have been a wonderful Try by Nan great work up the Wing by the hooker and it’s a [Applause]
Try it’s a try by Fergus jrey to Center but oh my God what wheels up the Wing by the hooker Nan unlucky not to get over himself but my gosh what are run I think we all need to take a moment and catch our breaths after that
One okay we have some substitutions here on the Wesley side the captain Ruben Pim is off now check and see who’s on in a moment Mr Perfect continues five from five for monan go go come W he now leading Buccaneers on a score of 35 To7 into Malloy Maloy plays Lark Lark has a look thinks about it tries to get through the Gap almost feeds willay willay now ahead he doesn’t have support Runners with him he has no option but to split the D huge run by Fay recycles to
Jrey where he now fir from the line it’s picked picked by Josh Pim lar long ball out to randles Randle spins reaches scores whoow this is unbelievable stuff by the pack of old [Applause] Wesley breaking out of the D turning into almost sprinters getting through that cover defense of
Buccaneers and we have in Cassity on now for his first effort of the game and it’s going to be a conversion [Applause] and codyy knocks it over saying to mon anything you can do I can do better so Cassidy with his first effort of the game a conversion to extend Wes’s lead
42 points to seven here in Don Brook so we have Sam Kenny on as well for Howard Nunan sorry Harley nun and will Fay is just getting a bit of tape being administered to him after that breath taking run a couple of moments ago setting up a try for
Wesley Malloy again a first receiver this time looks to step out himself and he’s still going 20 yards later out to C Cassidy plays kah Kelly Kelly like a bowling ball through the Midfield Cassidy again with his hands of the ball to Lark Lark tries to step
Through Buccaneers say not so fast this time but it’s a penalty for not rolling away and again we’ve an injury here on the sideline so we’re going to have a stoppage in play Wesley players calling the referee’s attention oh it’s a it’s a okay so again seems the referee signal
Incorrectly and it’s actually a bookaneers penalty there’s a couple of Buccaneers injuries here but the referee doesn’t seem to be stopping the game for them players are down on the [Applause] ground and it’s Li O’Neal who is on for the captain Pim and I believe that’s Liam a debut
Today so it’s been an incredibly Lively first 10 minutes of the second half here for Wesley with three scores in the opening 10 minutes to double their tally and and it’s Gavin Dy who’s getting treatment here he’s just they’re just looking to see can he stabilize that leg so he can play
On I think we’re going to have a change at Hooker as well here for Buccaneers with Dylan buer looking to come on for oen Dolan and unfortunately Gavin Dy The Substitute can’t stabilize that leg and Dylan Bulger coming on for daily I believe so 16 is on for number 19 so
We’re going to have two hookers here in the [Applause] pack turned over here here by wesy Pim has it looks to work out Pim still in his feet he’s brought down he recycles it back Now again Li O’Neil first introduction a rby with a great carry there Malloy stepping inside off the ground plays O’Neil again good carry by Young O’Neal cing gleon with the pull pass to C C Cassidy now trying to step out of the tackle he can’t recycles it back gleon again out
In the wing offloads out of the tackle to randles Larin trying to clean clean out Pim at first receiver Pim is on his own here he needs to be careful Josh manages to get to the gain line Cassidy now plays it in behind je out to Malloy Malloy to lar lar steps
Through oh a little feed the elephant pass but it goes into the hands of Buccaneers and Buccaneers are going to break out of it here but it’s a great cover Tackle by colie Buccaneers been urged to use it by their sideline they’ve numbers out wide here if they can move It Bulger with the pass out to the trit score Omar on the wing will spill for referees say play on Kelly now steps in W he have hands on here referee says yes it’s a Turnover and it’s a turnover there by Tom laret look No think that was Li O’Neal injured winning that turnover so sadly a brief Cameo for O’Neal and uh we’re going to see the introduction here of looks like Joshua here who no it’s short who’s in for kav so short not listed on the bench here lay change by kav wasn’t aware of
That so Short’s going to go in and off comes Josh Pim fine game by Pim and Howard Nan is also going in back into play the referee is also getting some treatment here folks so we’ll restart in a moment tempo of the gamees getting the ref two
So Cassidy gets us back on the way with a penalty here as a crowd shoulder appreciation for young Li O’Neal with a great Cameo but unfortunately winning that penalty got injured so K cavet is on I’ll go through the changes in the moment but we’re back underway Here oh spill forward by lar wesy dropped the heads and Buccaneers are straight on that ball into wesy territory here now they have number out wide if they get it out to him on this side referee says no we’ll bring it back for the knock gone
So it appears Muer did not make the bench today not kavner cuz kav’s just come on and Muer didn’t make the bench and it’s short who came earlier on so we’ve rejigged the back line a little bit here Burns has gone to fullback Tom Nar is now in at 12 and cavet has gone to the far Wing a lot of movement here lot of moving pieces and an update from Mary’s and Gary on it’s now 13 [Applause] All early show from Wy it’s a top and go by om the TR scorer for Buccaneers Laden picks it up off his shoelaces the excitement of the opening 10 minutes of the second half has fizzed out a little bit here few mistakes being made but again that’s understandable at the tempo that this game has been played that’s been huge so Hopkins the captain for books
Gets ready with the put In here again with the pickup to Hopkins to the fullback o shaky kicks through Weser covering it’s a tight turn here for randles knock on massive pressure being put on there by Buccaneers forcing the knock on there at Rook time for Wesley again apologies ladies and gentlemen at
Home we’ve heard a few explosives it’s just uh rugby expression coming through from the benches so Buccaneers now with their best attacking position of the second Half front rows are down we’re going to Restart that’s reset Scrum so Conor shaknes is all the way out on the stand side here right on the sideline the last man defense is Burns who’s just at the far post so again a good lot of space for a shot can see the play with here with a kick through and
It’s a penalty against o Wesley toing went by but referee says no wait for the mark we may be seeing a card coming here for Wesley but he’s bringing in the now standing Cass Cassidy as Captain to have a W room patience is running a little bit 10 here with the
Pack so what will books up for here it’s a TP penalty initial tackle is made Amir again coming around the corner the big man takes at the angle and scores he second of the day and books a [Applause] second so incredibly tricky conversion to come here for
Bucaneers it’s just across the face of the goal so Wesley here with the restart after that bookaneers try makes it 42 to2 Cy now with the restart cashley sends it long scattered by Omar Detroit scorer looks to play it again he’s a big man and he’s incredibly hard to tackle
Once he gets up some speed K Kelly’s on that ball he’s on the Jackal but Buccaneers have it secure again Hopkins now trying to get the box but he doesn’t have the support Sam Kenny with the counter it’s blocked by colie Charlie Ward who’s back on has It that was passed back in so it’s going to be a line out from where it was kicked by the 12 Mark Earl Earl is taking over a kicking duties here and is in at 10 so Wesley will restart with a line out here 12 or 13 from the Buccaneers line they’re gone
Full col’s up he takes it at four Nan has it at the tail there is a soft Center if they can get them all going here wer still moving forward with the bucaneers lying on the wrong side not rolling away referee says penalty it’s a quick chop and go by
Stevens where he have it Sam Kenny now it’s recycled to Kelly again Kelly’s just a yard short here to colie Wes he just need to get a little bit more organized here just on the tri line there’s numbers wide if they can get it out there either but they op to
Stay with the Heavies in tight they’re going to be held up over the line here surely yeah but we’re coming back for Advantage stev’s going to to and go himself plays it out wide to lar and that’s turned over I think it is indeed no it’s not Kelly has
It Cassidy in playe nine of course no stranger to nine is Cass where is he going to be held up again Here Buccaneers defense holding [Applause] strong we take a brief moment while the physio are on the pitch some running repairs here and Kelly is okay to continue on it’s a quick 22 taken physio still on giving treatment to a Buccaneers player I don’t think the Wesley Lads were ready for
That nonetheless need to readjust now good hands by Buccaneers theyve plenty support on the outside here but Malloy with the cover tackle does very very well again a kick through Tom lar has it lar face face to face with the sub hooker steps him Lark still on his feet
Recycles the ball Kelly offside for Buccaneers but referee says no Wesley from the [Applause] Side descent from W them and the referee marches him 10 so Buccaneers now with the lineer to come five or six out from the Wesley line call it a good six maybe seven a long a short Seven where he take it sorry baners taking at Two the initial mole has been stopped but now they’re going on that second Push Hopkins has it looks to go himself he’s held up too short air is looking for it the big man who scored two already he’s got his hands on it he plays it out Wes are under this though drag him back over the line and hold him up which they
Do referee says hell up great defensive play by Wesley dragging him back over the line and holding him up where he here making a substitution Harry Nan is coming back on I was possibly in back row for K Kelly maybe no Cronin gleon says that’s
It so cron and Gleason is coming off and Fergus jrey is going on for back row kah Kelly I’ll be honest with you I don’t know who’s playing where anymore but when they scrum down we’ll figure it out Cassidy now with the TR line Restart Laden’s under this the big Center plays it to Josh o Conor OK Conor surveys his options he’s made at the gain line wesy have their hands on the ball referee says illegally so it’s a tap and go here and wesy are now back 10 so they
Can make contact Laden’s at the second level Burns hangs On big carry there by Roy mccan Victory is hit on the gain line again and push back double man hit there by Wesley oh it’s in the hands of Tom lar lar is breaking out he needs support with him can’t get isolated here Sam Kenny stands at first
Receiver o Stevens’s got to be careful dummy in that pass it’s a clearance kick by Cy down the middle underne it is Murphy Sweeney the buccaneer Substitute Buccaneer still retain possession M at first receiver swings the ball out lien gets sloppy ball victory has it now out to the big man omir on the wing good scarter brace already oh Cassidy unlucky there it’s a cross field kick in in behind it’s a foot race for this
Ball shephered into Touch by Wesley it’s going to be a Wesley throw in nice little bit of invention there by Buccaneers okay we’ve got some more running repairs to Buccaneers players this time it’s the big man and score of the brace Roo Mira who is getting a bit of
Cramp so he’s been stretched out a little bit taken at two by Wesley W he now looking to walk it out a little bit give give a better angle on the kick Cassy stands in the dead ball line ready to clear Buccaneers have turned this one over they’ll have numbers out wide if
They can get it out There calls of high from the Buccaneers fans in attendance here today but it was a good cover Tackle by Burns Victory now takes it in referees now siging for the high Tackle Buccaneers players playing obstruction they need to be careful here they’re right on the line here our Books ball is there it’s playable for Buccaneers Charlie Ward I think this time yes Char Ward gets over for Detroit we’re going to see a card here for Wesley will fa for offside so that’ll be will face Last Action as we approach 71 minutes here on the stadium clock again Hopkins sorry Hanley with the uh
Kick there just snatched at it Buccaneers are looking for that bonus Point try here not interested in taking conversions so it’s 42 points to 17 Wesley down to 14 for the remaining minutes of this game and back on as well coming as Martin ston for Buccaneers and coming off is finan
Murphy so baners back to the starting front row on the Pitch another high Tackle by Wesley penley are just creeping into this game here again for Wesley it’s a big kick he might have the distance I don’t think he will brandles is under it feeds Burns Burns looks to take the angle oh he looks like he may have done himself an injury
There tried to caught in the ground wi from underneath him he’ll just turn away from Sam as he gets treatment Sam scorer of two tries here today again referee calling play straight away there which is the right thing to do with an injured player at the bottom of a rook
It seems to be his knee he twisted possibly but they’re now going to get him back to his feet s’s being helped off FL Crow seems to be a bit of a twisted knee he’s able to put weight on it that’s positive flying game by Sam Burns
We’re going to restart with a Wy scrum here I would imagine oh no they’re saying bookaneers scum so we have no eight and Fergus jrey the center playing back row here for Wesley so this should be in and out scrum here for Buccaneers unless they try and get a penalty from it Oh it’s a penalty for Wesley the seven man defeat the E referee calls slipping the bind against the loose head of Buccaneers h Cassidy pumps Wesley just to the 22 of Buccaneers Callie back in the hands of Nunan Nan plays it back into kie touch’s flag is Up again not from The Mark baners is going to be pulled back it’s fair to say Buccaneers probably don’t have a shot to win this game but there is a bonus point on offer for them if they can get four tries so they possibly need to be
Playing with a little bit more urgency in the last five minutes of this game Wesy will be happy to keep them just down their own 22 knock on here referee says no went backwards much to the shagan of the Wesley Crowd Oh lien here breaks out plays to his Winger tackle is going to need to be made here by randles he does up to the halfway Line colie with the tackle Buccaneers go short side Victory now tries to step through the tackle options not there another penalty against Wesley Cy slaming his trap referee says not having any of that just roll [Applause] away so dying Embers of this game here Buccaneers chasing that bonus Point Try and the captain Ruben Pim is re-entering the fry here he’s so referee now stopping Play so he’s stepping in for JRE Cassidy goes in at nine Manan to 10 jrey back out to his for a position of 12 taken well again by colie col’s at a fine day at line out time today and that’s it it’s fulltime all of our clocks are wrong that’s it
Referee says enough is enough and it’s a 42 points maximum Five Points here for old wesi today against 17 of of old Wesley of Buccaneers I have the fans in the stands looking up at me wondering how much is left I know as much as them the stadium clock reads
