Under 18

Castlebar U-18's do down to Westport
A very much under strength Castlebar side had to settle for second best against a strong Westport side.  Westport went two tries ahead within the first 10 minutes of the game and  things looked ominous for the home side.  Castlebar forwards upped the tempo and spent a full twenty minutes in the Westport 22 in the later half of the first half.  Unfortunately Westport cleared their lines without Castlebar registering a score despite the best efforts of Ross Flynn and David Casey.
Castlebar did manage to cross the Westport line in the second half with Ross Flynn touching down from a tap penalty.  Westport took hold of the game from there with Castlebar down to 13 men after losing two players to injury, and ran out comfortable winners in the end.
