Early try sets up UL/Bohs for narrow victory

UL/Bohemian 13 Cashel 8: The scorching pace and delightful lines of running that saw Cian Aherne touch down for a brilliant try within two minutes of the start of Saturday’s Munster Senior Cup clash at Annacotty proved vital in a hard-fought victory for UL/Bohemian.
Early try sets up UL/Bohs for narrow victory

UL/Bohs, who now go forward to a second-round meeting with Young Munster, capitalised impressively on that early try by Aherne, a valued member of the Ireland Sevens squad, to edge home by five points although they had to withstand strong pressure from the Tipperary side in the dying minutes.

Aherne’s try was converted by Rick McKenna and proved just about enough to keep Cashel at bay in a game that rose above the dreadful conditions to provide entertainment for the small crowd.
