McKee magic crucial as Con smash-and-grab raid stuns Bohs

HARDLY the scoreline you would expect from two of the AIL’s Division One high-flyers, but there were extenuating circumstances in this top-four clash on Saturday afternoon last on the back pitch at Thomond Park.

Gale-force winds blew directly downfield, with occasional showers joining the party, while a poor playing surface had enough sand to have emptied Ballybunion. Not what the good-sized crowd had come to cheer, but that wasn’t the fault to two extremely game sides.

Despite the lack of scores, of tries particularly, this was still an entertaining battle, a nailbiter that came right down to the final play.
