Shannon survive test from students

SHANNON coach Mick Galwey had stern words for his troops despite a 14-points AIB All-Ireland Cup victory at the Mardyke on Saturday.

His first division team nearly came a cropper in a pre-Christmas Munster Senior Cup final against Highfield, and again contrived to make life difficult against another lower-ranked side at the weekend

The display from the students was remarkable given that they leaked 20 points in the opening 24 minutes. Shannon, with that type of lead, would normally be assured of victory but were made sweat prompting Galwey to admit: “We’re far from the finished article on the basis of this display.”
