THE IRISH WOLFHOUNDS have been beaten 14-10 by England Saxons at The Sportsground this evening.
The Irish had started well, with a converted Kevin McLoughlin try and a Paddy Jackson penalty giving them a 10-0 lead at half-time.
However, the hosts failed to emulate this display in the second period.
Two George Ford penalties brought England back to within four points of their opponents, and a Will Frazer try on 67 minutes gave them the lead for the first time in the game.
Another Ford penalty, this time from the half-way, put England four points ahead, and the Irish failed to recover thereafter.
