West Court Jesters held court on the main pitch with a rousing 12-10 win over Bumble Bees RFC in Pool C. Bumble Bees have many friends in Ireland having played against Sundays Well Rebels in the first ever official game of mixed ability here in 2018.
Paul Colgan‘s try was a standout moment of the game while Martin Dullea led by captain’s example when he rifled a conversion over the bar to ensure the victory.
There was a #NothingLikeIt moment to savour when Ballincollig Trailblazers ran out on the main pitch to represent Ireland in the women’s competition. Urged on by a home crowd in full voice, they beat spanish side El Salvador 7-0.
In Men’s Pool D, Malone Tornadoes racked up one of the biggest scores of the day in beating Spain’s Incluindus 31-10.
Sundays Well Rebels were the big draw on day one, bringing big crowds wherever they went. They opened their Pool E account in the first game of the day on the main pitch and duly delivered a 20-0 win over Surrey Chargers, before following that up with a 30-10 win against ImplaccAbili.
Banbridge Barbarians look more than competitive in Pool F. The Ulstermen went down 26-15 in their competition opener against Longlevens Griffins.
