Bulls pick up second win against local rivals

Fri, Oct 10, 2014

The two Mayo sides in the top tier of the Connacht Junior League came face to face last Sunday in Heffernan Park, and it was the visiting side that went away with the spoils. Westport went home 10 point winners over their hosts Ballina and in the process leapfrogged them in the table moving up to fourth place. Having lost their two opening games to Connemara and Ballinasloe, Westport have now won two on the bounce with a nine point win over Monivea a fortnight earlier. This weekend Westport will be on the road again, this time on Saturday night when they are down to play Corinthians in Galway in what should be a tough encounter. The Galway side had won their first three games this season, before they went down by 10 points to Ballinasloe last Sunday. Westport will be hoping that Kevin Corcoran can keep up his scoring form from last week when he ran in two tries against Ballina, and Matt Dempsey has his shooting boots with him.

Connacht head to Italy intent on taking Treviso scalp

Fri, Oct 10, 2014

They face a struggling Treviso side, which has yet to win a match, but that in no way suggests a win will be a given. However Connacht’s seasonal ambitions could well come down to games such as this evenings in Italy (7pm Irish time), and without doubt coach Pat Lam and his players will be primed for victory.
