Pres were wind assisted in the first-half but they were rocked when Hayes sprinted away from an intercept. Out-half Jack O’Connell added the points from the conversion. Although David Cleary made it interesting when going over with he last play of the half Jamie O’Halloran and Hayes sealed the issue with second-half tries.
