For the 'i('cond )'t'ar in a row the
annual Joseph McGowan Cup
Challenge matc h ended 10 a draw
followlo& a spirited match played
31 the begmning of lkcember. Al–
though reduced to fourteen men
through the failure of some laic
fitness tesls the SARC defended
bra vel y against some fierce
opposition up
\0
the end .
Ahhough The Bar tried on(' of
their favourite [ricks (the old "try
and luilihem into a false: sense of
securit), by turning up late and
appearing disorgani sed") the
Appremice Solicitors, mindful of
the valuable lessons learned on th('
professional course, took
it
all in
their snide and managed to take
an early lead through a penalty
s killfully converted by Eoin
McNeill . Stung inco action by this
opening gambit, The Bar hit back
and scored a fine try through their
International paneli st, Noel
McCarthy.
Always in trouble in the serums
the SARC were forced
10
concede
a push-over try early in the second
half before retorting with a penalty
again converted
by
McNeill. With
the score then at
10-6
to The Bar
serum-half Pat Farrelly caught The

before feeding to John Shaw
(proving the value of sometimes
being in the wrong place at the

grounded the ball in the corner to
level the scores. Neither side could
improve on this. although
it
must
be said The·Bar

unlucky on
a couple of occasions not to get

BOIh sides adjourned to a local
hostelry for some light refresh–
ments and in this respect we are
most graldul to Mr. Anthony
Ensor, our Honorary Presidenl,
for a very generous contribution
towards the expenses of the
players. We would also like to
thank the variOus Masters for
giving their hard-working Appren–

thank Mr. David Pigot for coming
along to support us - it looks like
he has the dubious honour of
being Our lirst fan!
