They continued where they left off from their thrilling victory the previous week against Rainey.

Aided by a fairly strong wind, they laid siege to the home team’s 22 for most of the opening 15 minutes and were rewarded after eight minutes with the first try.

After a sequence of picking and driving, eventually a neat kick through by Graham Barry into space was picked up by James Doyle who scored under the posts, and Conal Kervick added the conversion.

However, the home team responded almost immediately when they attacked right from the drop off to punish Enniscorthy down the right.

They appeared to switch off after a high tackle resulted in Buccaneers taking the penalty quickly, and Tom Shine scored in the corner with out-half Gearóid McDonald kicking a fine conversion into the wind.

Enniscorthy were dealt a blow on the 15th minute when their experienced front row forward M.J. Doyle went off with a knee injury. He was replaced by Isaac Kearney who had an outstanding debut for a young man doing his Leaving Cert. this year.

To be fair, this loss didn’t upset Enniscorthy who came storming back and the second try came in the 25th minute.

They were pummelling the Buccaneers line but the home team turned over the ball and tried to run it out of under their own posts. The alert Ivan Jacob intercepted the pass to score under the posts with Kervick adding the conversion for a 14-7 lead.

Enniscorthy scored their third try in the 32nd minute. A kick through by Conal Kervick just missed the grasp of Ivan Jacob down the right.

From the resulting pressure Lee Treacy cross the whitewash from close in and with Kervick adding the conversion Enniscorthy had built what looked like an unassailable lead of 21-7.

However, the home team threw a spanner in the works when they scored just on the stroke of half-time. It looked like a switching off in Enniscorthy’s defence as Sam Meecham scored the try with McDonald adding the conversion to put a different look on the half-time scoreboard (21-14).

The opening 15 minutes of the second-half proved very tight but the home team scored their third try.

Tom Cotton scored in the left corner but surprisingly McDonald pushed his conversion to the right of the post and Enniscorthy were still leading 21-19 and it was now game on.

Twenty minutes into the second-half, Nick Doyle made a brilliant 40-metre break which eventually resulted in an Enniscorthy line-out inside the Buccaneers ’22.

The subsequent line-out was won by Enniscorthy who took the ball down and drove towards the try line, with Davy Murphy getting the vital touchdown. Ben Kidd, who had come on for Conal Kervick, missed the conversion.

Five minutes later the decisive score came when Jack Kelly made a superb 50-metre break up the left touchline.

And when it looked like he might go the whole way himself he was caught by Dylan Duffy. Scrum-half Fiacre Hourihane was in support and he touched down under the posts, and with Kidd adding the conversion Enniscorthy had now pushed the lead out to 33-19.

The home team did not go away and they scored their fourth try seven minutes from time when their wing, Tom Shine, beat the cover defence to score.

And with McDonald adding the conversion it meant a nervy finish for the visitors, but Enniscorthy held on for a deserved win.

It was again an excellent team performance with Tony Ryan and James Doyle to the fore, ably assisted by Davy Murphy and Timmy Morrissey.

Isaac Kearney, only 18, produced a massive performance after coming off the bench, so much so that he was awarded the man of the match trophy. Fiacre Hourihane, Jack Kelly, Graham Barry and Nick Doyle were the pick of the backs.

The next game is on March 21 versus Skerries in Alcast Park at 2.30 p.m.

Enniscorthy: M.J. Doyle (Isaac Kearney, 14), Davy Murphy (Mikey McVeigh, 66), Scott O’Connor, Tomás Stamp (Marco Byrne, 56), Timmy Morrissey, Lee Treacy, Tony Ryan, James Doyle, Fiacre Hourihane, Conal Kervick (Ben Kidd, 60), Ivan Jacob, Graham Barry, Rhyan Whelan, Jack Kelly.
