Rampant Clongowes too good for gallant Roscrea

THIS one-sided Leinster Schools Senior Cup final ended in a victory for tournament favourites Clongowes Wood College, who retained their title with a scintillating display of power and precision at the RDS yesterday.

Rampant Clongowes too good for gallant Roscrea

Cistercian College Roscrea were unwitting victims having come, arguably, through the easier side of the draw with victories over Castleknock, Terenure and St Gerard’s while Clongowes beat Presentation College Bray, competition specialists Blackrock and St Michael’s, the team they defeated in the final last season.

Despite the bravery shown by Roscrea throughout the second half when the game had long since been settled — with Clongowes leading 24-0 at the interval — there was never a doubt about the outcome.
