Garryowen win Cup cracker

SATURDAY’S Munster Senior Cup semi-final at Clifford Park had all the hallmarks of a Super 14 affair - a feast of open running rugby, two willing teams and tries galore - and the sun even shone brightly.

Garryowen win Cup cracker

Garryowen prevailed after a powerful second-half display in which they mixed the best of the old (superb cloud-touching garryowens by impressive out-half Declan Cusack), with the best of the new, as backs and forwards combined seamlessly in a superb exhibition of ball-carrying, ball-supporting and ruck-clearing. However, Dolphin also played their part in a superb tie.

Garryowen had the ideal start, and a penalty by Cusack inside five minutes was followed quickly by their first try - centre Corey Hircock taking advantage of turnover ball with a scorching midfield break to set up left-winger Lucas Kuntz, who turned up on the opposite wing for the final cutback inside pass.
