CARRICK 2ND XV v ANNAN 2ND XV

WEST RESERVE DIVISION 2
21ST SEPTEMBER 2024


Match Report from: STEVE JANCEY

Setting out for the second teams match on Sat 21st September and all was not well.

Annan lacked a coach, a captain and a couple of players.

However we need not have worried as Keiran Watret stepped up to be a very capable player/coach and Lex Stevenson proved himself a fine Captain.

After a discussion with the ref it was agreed that both sides should play with 15 players and that the final score would count towards league points. With this all settled the match started on Carrick’s artificial pitch.

Annans Mason Watret scored first with a barging battering ram try that was converted by Bradley James. Carrick scored next with a well worked try but missed the conversion. Bradley James then scored a second try converted it himself .

Half time score:  Carrick 5 v Annan 14.

The second half saw Carrick perform much better scoring 2 more tries and converting both of them. Mason Watret scored again for Annan again converted by Bradley James.

Final score: Carrick 19 Annan 21.

Many thanks to the 13 men of Annan who made the journey and many thanks to Carrick for their warm hospitality.

A special mention to Carrick physio Alice who patched up and strapped up players from both sides.

A warm welcome to Adam Dickson and Thomas Firby who were both making their debut in an Annan strip.

They both performed well as did the whole team.

Annan can now look forward to 3 home fixtures. The first of which is next week when they play Galloway.

Annan Team:  1) Carrick player 2) John James Mackay 3) Craig Stefaniuk 4) Keiran Riches 5) Gordon Henderson 6) Thomas Firby 7) Adam Dickson 8) Kieran Watret 9) Ross Barlow 10) Lex Stevenson 11) Carrick player 12) Bradley James 13)Mason Watret 14) Willie Grey 15) Danny Lockerby.
