Deasy’s stunner helps Con to morale-boosting triumph

SCOTT DEASY’S scintillating solo effort lit up Temple Hill and helped Cork Constitution get back to winning ways with a 17-13 defeat of Garryowen in Division 1A of the AIB League on Saturday.

The Munster Academy utility back’s second-half effort from near halfway proved the crucial seven-pointer, after his goalkicking, plus a Richie Lane try, had left the sides tied at 10-10, with Ronan O’Mahony’s try and five points from the boot of Conor Murray coming in reply.

Gerry Hurley’s penalty set up a grandstand finale, but Brian Walsh’s side held out for a morale-boosting victory.
