3 more players would make some difference to this side. These guys are good, Alan can see it in the interview the fact of a difficulty with numbers, but the core of this side is a bunch of boyz who understand its not about winning just seeing them work together on rucks, scrums, lineouts, passing, amazing turns of skill all honing that down for future games, 3 more players and your talking one heck of a side, Alan comments on the difficulty of getting that extra few boyz, but well well done to these guys, if they had not turned up the Clare would not have got a game, as it turned out with depleted numbers they not only turned up but played a great game worthy of Enniskillen on the I XV pitch, an honour to report

MATCH REPORT — Enniskillen Under 18s vrs Ballyclare
The Under 18s have found the transition from last year particularly difficult with a combination of school studies injuries and jobs making it hard to commit to Rugby, this is not a local problem as several larger clubs have had to withdraw this age group from the league competition.
However 13 young Fermanagh men faced a large and combative Ballyclare team on sat and were not intimidated and for the first 20 minutes held the Antrim team in their own half, with the reduced pack carrying ball well and showing great enthusiasm. But the consequence of three injuries meant that although still willing the boys had to concede the game. With the remaining game time allowing Ballyclare to use some of their less experienced players.
Credit must be given to all who took part and all at the club will be trying hard to increase numbers at this critical age group.
