Junior XV cruise to win against Bective

A combined Old Belvedere J3 and J4 side gained a comprehensive victory against Bective last Saturday.

 

Playing on the back pitch at Donnybrook, Belvo ran in a huge score in a friendly pre-season match.  The Juniors have been working hard in pre-season training with new fitness coach Neil O’Brien and got their reward with a flurry of late tries against a tiring Bective.  Second-row Aonghus O’Rourke even had enough left in the tank to crash over from all of seven yards to round off a satisfying win.
