Munchin’s dig deep to advance to semis

St Munchin’s College 10 Castletroy College 7

A brace of tries inside the closing 11 minutes from flanker Shane Airey and winger Craig Shanahan proved decisive in helping St Munchin’s secure a hard-fought win over their Limerick rivals.

Backed by a stiff breeze on a bitterly cold day, Castletroy College, with five members of their 2008 winning squad on show, had to wait until three minutes before half-time to opening the scoring.
