Coghlan turns tide for holders
St Michael’s had been seen as the greatest threat to the team who beat them in last year’s decider and they put up one hell of a fight before bowing out in yesterday’s Donnybrook semi-final.
Early on, it looked like it could be a ‘diamond’ day as St Michael’s full-back Cameron Diamond shot through for tries in the 19th and 35th minutes to first sling-shot them into a 5-3 lead and then to 12-10 in first-half injury-time.
