Westport Power to Victory Over Ballyhaunis in Mayo Rugby Derby
Connacht Rugby Junior 1B League saw Westport dominate with a convincing performance, running in five tries and limiting Ballyhaunis to only one score.
A dominant second half ensured Westport's flying start, with centre Harry Sheridan being almost unstoppable, earning him the man-of-the-match title.
He ran a perfect line and galloped through the Ballyhaunis defensive line, then danced around the last defenders to touch down between the posts.
Westport's fly-half Stephen Loftus also played a crucial role, winning the kicking game by booting the ball deep into the opposition's territory whenever he spotted space.
Ballyhaunis had high hopes for a better outcome, having impressed this season by reaching the Curley Cup final and winning their first league match against Corinthians 3XV.
