Irish Blog — Bombers win opener on Ireland Rugby Tour
By The Nelson Daily Sports
The L.V. Rogers Bombers are currently traveling the roads of Ireland on Rugby tour.
The team, which has been raising money to help offset the costs, left last week from Nelson.
LVR Vice Principal Frank Marisco, who is with the team on the tour, is going to blog the tour for The Nelson Daily.
Here’s his first contribution.
Tries by Connor Butler, Sean Hickson, and Daigan Cairn, with a pair, along with Kevin Lewis kicking one penalty and two conversions, led the Bombers to a 27-5 in their opening game of the tour.
Maverick Seed and Jake Lock had great games and were very impressive in all aspects of the game, especially tackling.
The man in charge of Youth Development Rugby for Leincster Province was there and he was surprised and impressed by our level of skill and fitness.
It was blustery and windy but a nice day.
After the game the boys were treated to soup and sandwiches at the Balbriggan clubhouse.
Today we are on the pitch for a training session with (coach) Mr. Joyce after a tour of the new Aviva Stadium.
Tomorrow we head for Galway and expect to play a much stronger team there.
