Eager Wolfhounds make club history
The history-making Under-13 Wolfhounds rugby team.
HISTORY WAS created on Saturday last when Wexford Wanderers fielded two teams at Under-13 level at the same time.
The first thing to happen was the 'B's being re-dubbed the Wexford Wolfhounds.
There was great enthusiasm for this new departure, and everybody was there well before kick-off in order to prepare. The Wolfhounds were off the leash and had New Ross pinned down in their '22 early on, with Johnny Hamilton scoring the first-ever try. This was quickly followed by another by Andrew Maguire, and both were converted by Kevin Bierney.
New Ross now found their legs and piled on the pressure, and this was rewarded by two unconverted tries. The score at half-time was Wolfhounds 14, New Ross 10.
A few personnel changes were made and it was business as usual, with Luke Roche scoring in the corner. This went unconverted.
New Ross came again but, try as they might, they always came up short and the final score was 19-10. Team manager Philip Stafford was delighted with the performance and looked forward to more outings for this promising young team.
