Garryowen back to winning ways against UL/Bohs

SUGGEST to Garryowen coach Paul Cunningham that his team is having ‘an up and down kind of season’ and he will courteously but firmly put you in your place.

They have already won their first Munster Senior Cup in ten years, are in the semi-final of the AIB All-Ireland Cup and after Saturday’s 18-5 defeat of UL/Bohemian in the AIB League, are not without hope of reaching the knock-out stages in that competition.

“I’d call it a cracking season”, Cunningham declared. “We lost four league games in a row but only by a fraction. We went down 8-6 to Buccaneers in Athlone where it’s never easy to get a result. We lost 12-11 to Con here the week after beating them in the cup final and it was always going to be a hard ask to beat a team of the standard of Con in successive weeks.
