Gonzaga double stuns battling Roscrea

TWO bad blows in first half injury time left Roscrea with a mountain to climb in the second half of the Vinnie Murray Senior Cup Final yesterday, after they had made all the running for the first 25 minutes.

Roscrea had the vast majority of the territorial advantage during the first half, but failed to turn their advantage into a scoreline.

Gonzaga had hardly been in Roscrea’s half before they suddenly pounced two minutes into injury time and some extremely stylish passing between their backs and forwards ended with a try for flanker Dominic Ryan after 42 minutes, a try that was cleanly converted by their outstanding centre William McEvoy.
