Jones stars as Seapoint sink Coleraine in final

EXPECT a rush by several of Leinster’s established senior clubs to acquire the services of Seapoint full-back Felix Jones after this performance.

Jones, one of the stars of Ireland’s U-20 Six Nations Grand Slam, scored two smashing tries as his side outclassed Coleraine in the AIB All-Ireland Junior Cup final at Dubarry Park, Athlone on Saturday.

Seapoint had the tie wrapped up by the interval, with a brace of tries from Ben Focas and one from the other winger Carl DeChenu opening a 25-5 lead and Colin McNay responding for the Ulstermen.
