Balbriggans Ladies Team beat Greystones on Saturday in a nail-biting Leinster League final, played at Donnybrook. The final score was 8 v 3, with a penalty scored by Dearbhla Sheridan and a try by Siobhan O’Connor. They were cheered on by a great crowd of Balbriggan supporters at the game. Siobhan was named MVP for the Match, and received a trophy from the Leinster Branch. The team, coach and management worked so hard this season that their success can come as no surprise and is well-deserved. Well done to Balbriggans Ladies who are Leinster Champions, and thanks to John Gallen of gallenalliance for all his support this season.
Also, on Friday night Balbriggans 1st XV secured a great win over Clane in the Leinster Div2b/Div 3 promotion/relegation play-off. Balbriggan were 7 v 0 up in the first few minutes, only to fall behind 7 v 21 at one point. Two tries and one conversion just before half time brought them back up to 19 v 21. Marcel Brennan scored the winning try with just 10 minutes to go, securing Balbriggan’s much deserved victory. Final score 24 v 21. Congratulations to all the lads on a great season and a great win.
