GARRYOWEN gained vengeance for last year’s final defeat as they beat Bruff 19-9 in a keenly contested ODM Financial Munster Senior Cup decider at Thomond Park last night.

BARRY O’MAHONY is currently in the throes of his Leaving Cert, but he took time off from study yesterday to help Clonakilty through the back door and get their Cork SFC challenge back on track in an entertaining game at Ballinspittle.

AIB LEAGUE DIVISION 2 FINAL:

WHEN the AIL’s most prolific attack faced the most suffocating defence, something had to give, in this Division Three final in Donnybrook on Saturday.

IT’S a very social club, is Bruff RFC, and that was much in evidence at last Saturday’s vital AIL division 3 match against promotion rivals Queens University, from Belfast.

An injury-time penalty goal from Andrew Thompson saw Shannon edge out Belfast Harlequins in a thrilling AIB Cup second round clash at Deramore Park this afternoon.
