Day 2: Ashbury College RFC V Enniskillen RFCMonday, March 16. 2009
An early start for the girls meant that we had chance to venture into the City Centre. Some went shopping (again!) while others carried on to Croke Park to see the huge stadium. Then it was back to the hotel for a quick lunch before we undertook the 3 hour journey to Enniskillen for the first match of the trip. We arrived in time for the girls to get in a good 45 minutes of warming up as the game kicked off at 6:30pm.
  Post Game Report: ‘Our match started slowly with lots of defense played in the first half. We managed to finish the half with a 5-0 lead with a try scored by Maggie Cogger-Orr. In the second half, Enniskillen tied up the game with a try 10 minutes in. After another long period of defense, the Skins took the lead, 10-5 with 8 minutes remaining. This woke the team up, and we fought back into their 22m to score the tying try of the match – off a quick tap take by Maggie for her second try. The game ended in a 10-10 tie, and with everyone very satisfied with our defensive efforts and development over the game. Chicks of the match were Laurie ‘JR’ Biewald for her one-woman defensive efforts and Kate ‘S.I’ Amirault for her stellar runs. All in all, everyone got at least 15 minutes and no injuries (except for a sweet black eye on S.I’s part!) to worry about. It’s now time for some St. Paddy’s Day fun which has got all the girls very excited!!’ Laurie ‘JR’ Biewald and Maggie ‘Baby’ Cogger-Orr  The game was exceptionally entertaining to watch and the girls all had a great time! We then got to tuck into home cooked meals provided by the rugby club. After this well earned break, it was presentation time. Enniskillen gave our team a special plaque and tie in exchange for a signed flag, poster and ball from the Ashbury girls. On leaving the club at around 9:30pm, the long drive back meant the girls could relax and sleep in order to regain some strength in time for the celebrations tomorrow!
