Old Wesley Edge Past Cork Con in All-Ireland League
Ollie Uaill secured a narrow victory over Cork Con, winning 36-33 in the All-Ireland League on Saturday afternoon. The result gives the hosts a win from their opening two fixtures, while Cork Con remain without a point after two defeats.
Old Wesley sit sixth with four points after beating Clontarf 22-38 last time out, though that previous scoreline reads as a loss — meaning they've now turned things around. Cork Con's record is stark: two losses, zero points, and they trail at the bottom of the table.
The visitors have been through a rough patch, losing 10-27 to Terenure College on September 26th and going winless in their opening two games this season. By then, expectations would have been higher for a side with their history.
What the scoreline tells you is a close contest — three points between two teams that both found the try line frequently. Old Wesley's attack clicked when it mattered, while Cork Con's defence couldn't hold the line for ninety minutes.
The table now shows Old Wesley climbing off the foot of the standings, while Cork Con face a tough run to find their first victory. Three points separate them from safety, and the gap could widen if form doesn't change.
