Kanturk advance in Cup as Presentation lift Shield
The meeting of the sides in second place in Divisions 1 and 2 of the Munster Junior League resulted in a big win for Kanturk as they defeated St Mary’s 29-12 to book an away tie against Garryowen in the next round.
Kanturk dominated the opening half and built up a 24-0 lead by half-time with tries from Michael O’Sullivan, Michael Twohig and Gary Piggott. Peter Earlie converted all three and also added a penalty. Mary’s came back into the game with tries from Niall Counihan and Rob Brockert with Sean Lyons converting one. The visitors felt they should have been awarded a penalty try but Kanturk weathered the storm and a late try by Earlie made sure of the win.
