Belvo glory as Mary’s fall short

Belvedere College 11 St Mary’s College 10

Watched by 10,000 spectators, this was an exciting, competitive game where every scrap of possession proved valuable, but, in the end, the team with the best defence won.

Belvedere absorbed periods of unrelenting pressure in both halves, scrapped for their 11 points and this morning are celebrating their second title in four seasons, and tenth in total.
