Treble dream still on for Cunningham
In an entertaining game at Dubarry Park Garryowen eased past Buccaneers 14-3 while Division Two outfit Ballymena were shock 18-15 winners over All-Ireland champions Old Belvedere at Anglesea Road.
Garryowen coach Paul Cunningham said: “Bucs are a nice side, well coached and they have very skilful young players. Overall, it was an excellent match and very good quality. We always take cup competitions seriously in Garryowen. The Munster Senior Cup has a tremendous history and the Bateman Cup is very important.”
