St Mary’s College RFC 10 - 13 Lansdowne FCEnergia Community Series, Templeville Road, 10th October 2020Overall:Observing the desolate terraces, the hollowalmost ethereal, resonances of the scantvoices, brings a strange, sad nostalgia, withmemories of gigantic jousts and clamour,wild, sideline scenes and emotionalanimations. Oh’ for those lusty days, the safemingling, the healthy fears, not forcontagion but for sporting outcomes.Looking at those red, yellow and blackstripes; then the much loved star dashedblue and white regalia appear, stirs thesenses to the their vibrancy and theyouthful, optimistic puissance. Thus the cold,contumacious, Covid Canopy collapses, asthe sun glints, shimmers, and blinks the eyes.So joyous hope returns, the game begins.And what a game it was. Games such asthese do much to boost forbearance andoptimism. Both teams can be proud oftoday, as indeed can Steve Hennessy and hiscolleagues; and our one time AIL hero, MarkMcHugh (who was indeed most welcomeback) and his. There was an effervescenceabout the game, it was played with pace,skill and uplifting sportsmanship. As is oftenthe case for St Mary’s, there was noticeablediscrepancy in size between the two sides.Lansdowne lining out behemoths. They alsohad some real top class experience in theirside, especially in their big backrow. Our ladsdid not notice.There was once again a disappointingaspect, having had a little more possession,territory, strikes, and actual tries, physicallyscored, our penalty count (including apenalty try) conceded, was higher and so welost the game. That said there was verymuch to be proud of, with a notable fluidityand continuity. In the first half when playingtowards the Road end with a strong wind,we did not use that advantage to kick toCarvill Corner, that glue spot for defences.Speaking of which, the home defence waswell organised and effective. Indeed, in allroundhigh levels, there were someperformances of special note.The backrow again worked hard. Withperiodic exceptions, the lineout was fluidand great credit must be given to LiamCorcoran, who runs the lineout efficientlyand makes a major personal contribution.Action from theSt. Mary’s vLansdowne EnergiaCommunity Seriesgame inTempleville Road10.10.2020.Photo byJC Sports Photography.23
