St. Mary’s make mockery of League positions with win over Garryowen

Garryowen 14 St Mary’s College 23

Hennessy, a native of Limerick, doesn’t need reminding of how difficult it is for a Dublin side to travel to his home town and depart with a result - more so against a team ranked seven places above them in Division One.

Given that they were very much in contention for the league and cup double entering the business end of the season, one might have expected a top-of-the-range performance from Garryowen, but they were outplayed by a hungrier and commendably committed Mary’s XV.
