Tullamore firsts dig deep to take all 5 points at home to Wexford Wanderers

Leinster League Division 1A: Tullamore 37 – 10 Wexford Wanderers

Tullamore entered Saturday’s clash knowing a win was essential to back up last week’s dominant performance against Suttonians. However, they were forced to settle quickly after a sharp early snipe from the Wanderers winger, followed by a successful conversion that put the visitors 7–0 ahead. Despite the setback, Tullamore steadied the ship and began to impose themselves on the contest. Sustained pressure earned a penalty deep in Wanderers territory, and the hosts opted for the corner. Marty Cummins rose superbly to secure the lineout before a clever trick play unfolded. Colm Heffernan swept in from the blindside, burrowing through a narrow gap to set the platform. Barry Bracken, arriving at pace, powered over the line for Tullamore’s opening try. Conor Dunne added the conversion to level the tie. On a wet and slippery day, both sides struggled for continuity. Penalties were traded as conditions dictated a scrappy tempo, and while Tullamore created several promising opportunities, they failed to convert them, leaving Wanderers firmly in touch at the break.
