Gorey vs. Kilkenny U13's match report 4/10/26
Final score – Gorey 5 – 10 Kilkenny
Gorey kicked off & won the ball, they were camped in the Kilkenny half for a good 15 minutes, but it remained 0-0 after multiple errors from both sides in a very stop/start game. Centre Jack Kinsella tried to get Gorey going with his work rate around the pitch, but Gorey were unable to find a way past a stubborn Kilkenny defence. Shortly before half time, Kilkenny finally ventured into Gorey territory & started to boss the game. They eventually went over in the corner but were unable to kick the conversion. The first half finished 5-0 to Kilkenny after a frustrating first half for Gorey.
Gorey started the second half a bit brighter, bringing on some of the replacements, but were still making hard work of the game. There was little to separate either side, Calum Bailey was busy around the pitch trying to get Gorey going, but Kilkenny struck again with a try in the corner, making it 10-0 after missing the conversion.
The forwards finally started to assert themselves, Josh Naylor ripped the ball from a Kilkenny player and made his way deep into Kilkenny territory. Gorey finally had a bit of momentum with Joshua Shiel crossing for a try. Unfortunately, the conversion was missed, leaving the score 10-5 to Kilkenny before the final whistle blew.
Man of the match – Jack Kinsella – Great work rate & never say die attitude!
A frustrating day for Gorey in a very tight game where too many errors cost them.
