Clancy’s late try gets Castletroy over the line

Munster Schools Junior Cup: Castletroy 26 St Munchins 21

A Munster Schools Junior Cup quarter-final that appeared to be meandering along towards an easy win for Castletroy over St Munchins at Thomond Park yesterday suddenly burst into life and provided a hugely exciting climax.

Castletroy eventually prevailed with a try in the fourth minute of stoppage time by centre Paul Clancy, but the outcome was harsh on St Munchin’s because of the courageous manner in which they came back from what looked like certain defeat to draw level as the game went into stoppage time.
