Westport Claims Victory Over Ballyhaunis in Mayo Rugby Derby
Westport dominated the Connacht Rugby Junior 1B League match, scoring five tries and limiting Ballyhaunis to just one score.
The match, played on a dry and mild Saturday evening, saw Westport deliver a convincing performance from start to finish. Centre Harry Sheridan was instrumental, earning the man-of-the-match title with a standout try in the first half.
Sheridan ran a perfect line, galloping through the Ballyhaunis defensive line and dancing around the last defenders to touch down between the posts.
Westport's fly-half, Stephen Loftus, also played a crucial role, consistently booting the ball deep into opposition territory whenever he spotted space. Despite Ballyhaunis' impressive start to the season, including a Curley Cup final appearance and a league win against Corinthians 3XV, they were unable to overcome Westport's strong performance.
