Timoney toast of Blackrock
Despite facing into a 14-3 interval deficit, Clongowes Wood College turned the tie on its head with a brace of second-half tries, but with the game delicately poised, powerful No 8 Timoney produced the score that guided the Williamstown school towards their 68th crown.
The south Dubliners had dominated the early exchanges in an electrically-charged Ballsbridge venue, but even though Zach O’Hagan grounded on the right-wing at the end of a sweeping 12th minute move, TMO Brian McNiece determined that the final pass was forward.
