Rockwell hold off plucky Glenstal
A wet afternoon militated against the open play favoured by both sides and their coaches accepted that considerable improvement is essential to advance beyond the quarter-final. Rockwell now look forward to a home game against Castletroy, while Glenstal take on PBC in Cork.
Rockwell were stronger and looked better suited to the unfavourable conditions. However, they contributed to their difficulties by lying deeper in attack than appeared to make sense while being ushered across the pitch by the well-organised Glenstal defence.
