Miller time at last as Saints gain revenge

COACHED by former Ireland star Eric Miller, St Gerard’s exacted speedy revenge on Roscrea for their Schools Senior Cup semi-final defeat by winning an absorbing Leinster Senior League final at Donnybrook yesterday.

The winners had to do it the hard way though, going behind to tries from Roscrea captain Conor Finn and outstanding lock Rory Moloney in the ninth and 15th minutes, in addition to a single conversion and penalty from out-half Bill Duggan.

The turnaround had most to do with St Gerard’s ability to make the most of the two gilt-edged opportunities that came their way as well as their out-half Steve Crosbie’s 10-point contribution from placed balls.
