BUCCANEERS THIRDS and their Galwegians counterparts battled it out mainly through the forwards in their Connacht J2 League meeting at Glenina, Galway, where the home side proved stronger on a 13-3 margin. This was a much-changed midlanders outfit that never really got going despite the endeavours of Rory Byrne, Ger Fallon, Ger Walsh and Robert Reid. Fallon, with a penalty, was the Pirates sole scorer.
