Pa Ryan’s last-gasp intervention secures victory for Ardscoil Rís

A dramatic injury-time try from centre Pa Ryan helped favourites Ardscoil Rís secure their place in the Munster Schools Senior Cup quarter-finals at the expense of local rivals St Munchin’s College at Clifford Park yesterday.

St Munchin’s looked on course for a major surprise when leading a fancied Ardscoil Rís 15-11 in added time at the end of a highly competitive Limerick derby clash. However, just as the Corbally side appeared set to claim a famous win, Ardscoil produced one final assault and when scrum-half Craig Casey took a quick tap from a free-kick on the St Munchin’s ‘22, Ardscoil moved the ball quickly.
