Ronan try lifts Shannon

Shannon’s resurgence continued as they dispatched Old Belvedere 28-17 on Saturday, their third win in five games helping them in their quest to preserve their Division 1A status.

The hosts moved led 17-0 at half-time, but tries from Jonathan Slattery and lock Josh Eden-Whaitiri helped Belvo pull back to 17-17.

Fit-again Munster flanker Niall Ronan’s try helped seal it for Shannon, who now have UL Bohs and Belvedere in their sights in what is set to be an intriguing relegation battle.
