GOREY J2s SHARE THE SPOILS

Gorey’s J2s started the New Year with a share of the spoils against a very game

Bective Rangers when they welcomed the Dubliners to Clonattin on Saturday last.

Gorey started well and on 15 minutes, after some excellent work by the pack, Jordan

Ahern went over to open the scoring with Cian Hadden adding the conversion.

But their lead was short-lived with the visitors response seeing Jeff Mahon round off

a flowing move to go over for a try.

In the 30th minute Bective took the lead with a penalty after an infringement at a

ruck.

For the remainder of the half Gorey upped their game and when Niall Cousins

crossed for Gorey’s second try with Hadden just wide with the conversion attempt 12

- 10 was the score at the break.

The second half saw the visitors start the brighter and it was not long until they

restored their lead when they crossed for their second try.

A Gorey penalty saw them tie the teams at 15 all midway through.

Bective responded with a well worked try to take their score to 22 - 15.

But the home team responded well and a number of phases later brought the teams

level again when Lloyd  Stephens crossed for another Gorey try, Cian Hadden

converted.

That was the way it ended with a draw probably the fairest result as both sides had

tried hard in a very entertaining game.
