Harvey kicks Villiers to victory

STEPHEN HARVEY was the hero for Villiers School in yesterday’s titanic tussle with St Mary’s CBS (Tralee) in the Avonmore Milk Munster Schools Senior Cup round one tie at Tralee RFC.

Harvey’s second-half injury-time penalty attempt from the halfway line sailed sweetly over the bar to give the Limerick college a 9-7 victory over a courageous St Mary’s XV.

Harvey kicked all of Villiers’ scores in a low-scoring contest dominated by the forwards on a perfect day for rugby. Much of the first half was spent in the middle third of the field though both teams did manage to get inside the opposition 22 on the odd occasion.
