Cup defence on track as Richmond torpedo Kilfeacle’s hopes once again

There was a disappointing start to the opening round of the Munster Junior Clubs Challenge Cup with only three of the scheduled seven games going ahead.

Mon, 17 Sep, 2012 - 01:00

Holders Richmond defeated Kilfeacle 24-17 in a repeat of last season’s final at the Tipperary venue. Richmond led 12-0 at half time with tries from Stephen Clancy and Finbarr Hogan with Clancy kicking a conversion. Gareth O’Hanlon and James Hayes added further tries and Brian Mullins converted one. Kilfeacle replied with tries from Pat Ryan, Charles Walsh and Packie Burke with Shane Looby converting one.

Richmond will now be away to Waterpark in next week’s quarter-finals.
