Shannon happy to get off the hook

A CASE of two points lost by Old Belvedere, two points gained by hosts Shannon in this All-Ireland League clash at chilly Coonagh on Saturday.

The opening 20 minutes were dominated by Shannon, a 5th minute try from winger Donal O’Donovan and Tadhg Bennett’s 13th minute penalty had them 8-0 clear and seemingly set for an easy win.

From there to the end, however, Belvedere were the better side.
