Junior Rugby Focus: Stephen Hayes pounces as Galbally advance to cup quarter-finals

Galbally caused the shock of the weekend as they beat Clanwilliam in the Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup.

In a thrilling game at Galbally, the home side won 8-3. Sean Bourke put Galbally ahead with a drop goal 15 minutes from time. Niall Leahy levelled with a penalty two minutes from the end of normal time but in added time, Stephen Hayes’s try sent Galbally into the quarter-finals.

A try from Derek Houlihan converted by John Sheehan had Highfield 7-0 ahead away to Kilfeacle at half-time. The Tipperary side rallied after the break and tries from Tom Doyle, Shane Looby, and JJ Cooney and two penalties and a conversion by Gavin Heuston saw Kilfeacle advance to an away quarter-final with Young Munster.
