After a run of good results recently, Buccaneers Thirds came a cropper away to Corinthians in their Connacht J2 League meeting under the Clounacauneen floodlights last Thursday night where the Galway club won on a 42-15 scoreline. Centre Aidan Quinn did most of the damage for the homesters, helping himself to a haul of five tries.

Terry Hynes, returning after injury, was best of the backs with notable support from Emmet Egan. Richie Johnstone and Darragh Lennon proved best in the pack for Buccs for whom Keith O’Neill was sent off for dissent. Ger Fallon kicked a penalty and one conversion while Johnstone and John Shaughnessy got a try apiece.

BUCCANEERS:- O.McIntyre; G.O’Loughlin, J.Shaughnessy, E.Egan, K.O’Neill; T.Hynes, G.Fallon; R.Curley, K.Grehan, R.Johnstone; G.Duffy, M.Coleman; D.Lennon, R.Wakefield and R.Byrne. Replacements used:- L.Doran (for Curley), D.Dunning (for Hynes) and P.Hynes (for Duffy).
