Westport Power to Victory Over Ballyhaunis in Mayo Rugby Derby

Westport secured a convincing win over Ballyhaunis in the Connacht Rugby Junior 1B League, running in five tries and limiting their opponents to just one score.

The dominant performance was led by centre Harry Sheridan, who was named man-of-the-match after scoring a masterpiece of a try in the first half. Sheridan's try saw him run a perfect line, gallop through the Ballyhaunis defensive line, and dance around the last defenders to touch down between the posts.

Westport's fly-half Stephen Loftus also played a key role, booting the ball deep into opposition territory whenever he spotted space, giving his team a clear advantage in the kicking game.

Ballyhaunis had entered the match with hopes of a better outcome, having impressed so far this season with a Curley Cup final appearance and a win in their first league match against Corinthians 3XV.

Centre Harry Sheridan was almost unstoppable, especially thanks to a masterpiece of a try in the first half.
