07.11.2009 J2 XV v Lansdowne (A)
| 07/11/2009 | 2.30pm | League | Lansdowne | 18 – 11 | St. Marys J2 XV | Away |
Lansdowne 21 St Mary’s J2 14
The J2’s deservedly lost for the first time in 23 competitive game (April 2008) to Lansdowne in Ballycorus Road on Saturday. A well worked score by Barry Cahill and 9 points from the boot of James Dunne was all we had to show for an ill disciplined and lack lustre performance (penalty count 12 – 2 against in the second half). We also lost last years captain Rob Ryan to a dislocated elbow. As he would say, the Big C must have set in as we did not play with our usual aggression and flair. We have suffered a number of injuries to key men but we need to pick it up this weekend versus Clontarf.
p.s. C = Complacency
