RUGBY: Frustrating outcome in Metro Division 3 for Tullamore outfit

Old Wesley superior forward dominance and power game was unfortunately the decisive factor in this crucial league game, that sees Tullamore in a precarious position heading into the final 2 rounds, now 1 point behind Old Wesley and a league final berth.

Tullamore started slowly as is their nature by times and we're 13 - 0 down before they hit 3rd gear.

The early damage would prove significant by the end of the day.

Paul Galvin did trundle over for a converted try on 30 minutes and a Gary Cantwell penalty left Tullamore only 3 behind at the break.

A quick fire Steve Cahill try pushed Tullamore 4 ahead immediately after the restart but Wesley soon fought back with a 3 pointer of their own.

Cantwell kept the scoreboard ticking with another penalty but with Tullamore's scrum and maul defence beginning to creek, Wesley battered over for another converted try to push ahead by 3 with 12 minutes to play and although Liam Dunne was help up over the line, Tullamore had to settle for a bonus point loss.

A frustrating outcome in a game that could have been won, but Tullamore will still have a chance of a league final, should results fall their way.
