SlGNAnIRE' ~ ft ~ 15 RUGBY The Rugby Festival at the Letterkenny Half Way Line Grounds on Sunday when Maura Ma– guire's Virgins played Ma:ry O'Brien's Harlequins in a mixed match. The game, which was refereed by the well– known Australian referee, Charlene Robinson, proved a considerablesuccess both in termsofstyle displayed and endeavour and it was fitting that the winning score was achieved by a mi~kick, when Sheila King converted her own t:ry in the last minute of the game. The ability and fitness shown byHarlequin's captain, Ma:ry O'Brien, produced the goods after ten minutes, when she scored a fine t:ry under the I posts after a thirtyyard run. Family trainingwas in 1 evidence as Mariam Finn squared up to the con– ' version attempt and the resultant kick left the Har- lequins 6 points ahead. TheVirgin's captainstruck back almost immediately when she sprinted through the centre after a mix-up in the Harlequins defence. Miriam Flynn scored a t:ryjust before half time and made good the conversion to leave the Harlequins leading at half time by 12 points to 4. In the second half, the Virgins ran in tries from PhilomenaBreslin, Sheila King, Frances Cle– land and had a conversion from Ciara Hall to build up a good lead which they kept to the end, despite a good t:ry from Jean McElhinney.
