Corinthians 36 - 15 Old Crescent
November 7, 2018
Corinthians with the wind behind them started slowly enough in the second half but the game changed dramatically as referee Michael Tracy yellow carded Crescents most influential player Mark Ryan. During that period Corinthians ran in for two scores, the first by number nine Mike Roche which was a solo effort after good work by the pack. The second was scored by centre Eoin Griffin after another great drive by the back row in particular with outhalf Bayden Morey converting same leaving the score twelve points to fifteen in favour of the visitors. Corinthians continued to put the pressure on with fine fielding by Gary Ward and Captain Pat Cunningham. The next score came from a good lineout with hooker Dave Barden throwing great ball especially with the strong wind making play difficult. Roche got the ball out quickly for fullback Darren Classens to come into the line and score in the corner. At this stage the home side were looking for a bonus point which came in the thirty fifth minute this was again a back row effort with flanker Liam Carpenter touching down with help of Casanova and Cunningham. Morey converted same and he also converted a subsequent penalty. Carpenter was again to the fore scoring the final try of the day with the visitors in disarray, Morey again converted same leaving the final score Corinthians 36 - Old Crescent 15.
