ODM MUNSTER SENIOR CUP SEMI-FINAL:

Garryowen enjoy late change of fortune

Whereas Shannon enjoyed a clear edge in open play, Garryowen were the stronger force up front. However, they were mightily relieved to cling on to their precarious lead in stoppage time when Shannon had what would have been a match-clinching try disallowed for a forward pass and then saw Tadgh Bennett miss a penalty from a very kickable position that would have equalised the scores.

The game was less than two minutes old when Garryowen centre Alan Gaughan intercepted a pass 35 metres from the Shannon line and raced through for an opportunist try, converted by Jamie Gavin.
