Malone Brush Barnhall aside
18th of February 2008
Gibson Park has proven to be a difficult venue for Barnhall to gain league points and Saturday was no exception. Malone started the game at a cracking pace and from the start the Backline looked like it had strength and pace in abundance. After only three minutes a missed tackle let Andy Lowe in for a soft try which was converted by Gareth Fry the talented no fifteen for Malone.

A minutes magic not enough for Barnhall
10th of February 2008
Disagreement over the kick off time (to facilitate the players watching the international game) appeared to have the visitors from Highfield asleep at the kick off of this AIL game in Parsonstown on Saturday. Barnhall gained possession shortly after the kick off and a wonderful break by Cathal Connolly split the stunned Highfield defence and released Romain Gibert (playing at fullback for this game) on a lightening break. Gibert breezed through a narrow gap and left the Highfield defence standing as he crossed in the corner. Connolly missed the difficult conversion and the score after one minute of play was 5-0 to the home side ...more
