ULSTER GOALKICKER TO COVENTRY RUGBY.
By Tom Little.
July 12 2011
Coventry rugby are delighted to announce that Mark O’Connor, whose preferred position is fullback has signed for Coventry Rugby.
Mark, aged 21, is the younger brother of the Celtic’s League Niall who is now at Connacht. Mark previously played for Limavady Grammar School, Rainey Old Boys and City of Derry RFC. He has also represented Ulster Schools U17 and U19, as well as Ulster Colleges and Ulster’A’ U 20’s .
Mark, a tall rangy fullback, is a proven goal kicker with a success rate of 89%, who has also picked up the knack of thriving on the pressure with last minute tries and winning touchline conversions .
Mark hopes to finish off his degree at Coventry University, and feels that Coventry Rugby provides him with the springboard to get into professional rugby which he desires.

He sounds promising. The questions is, will he be able to command a first team place. The one thing that's certain is that we forfeited a shed load of points last season without an established kicker.
Welcome Mark. All we ask is that you're given the opportunity and that you get the ball between the posts.

Another youngster (good thing).
89 percent (good thing).
Can he tackle? (would be a very good thing
).
I reckon (without any reference to facts, nous, knowledge, stats or even common sense) that should put us up about three to four places compared to last season's kickers' performances. Top four now beckons?
I'll take that!

To irishrugbydad. Hipflask doesn't really look like that. He puts on a clean vest for a game. Welcome to you and your son. I'm sure you will get a real Coventry welcome.

Mark O'Connor did well, scored 1 try and kicked a couple of conversions. Looks a very good goalkicker - very solid and repeatable technique. Joine in the line too.
