Hickey the hero as Garryowen storm to 36th cup success

Garryowen 18 Cork Constitution 13

It was Hickey’s touchline conversion and 40-metre penalty into the wind and rain that saw the light blues to their 36th victory in the competition.

Garryowen coach Paul Cunningham admitted that it could have gone either way in the exciting closing stages. Con actually forced an attacking line-out as the game entered stoppage time and just five points separating the sides.
