Junior Rugby Focus: Cup heartbreak for Galbally as Con score late try

Bandon, Cork Constitution, Richmond, and Young Munster advanced to the Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup semi-finals after a busy weekend of action.

The hard luck story of the day belonged to Galbally who led Cork Constitution 8-3 with two minutes to go, but a try from Dave Fitzgerald sent the game into extra-time. In the final minute of extra-time, and Galbally ahead on the first try rule, young John Poland kicked a penalty to book Con’s place in the last four (11-8).

A Jack O’Mullane penalty had given the Limerick side a 3-0 interval lead. Poland levelled but Tony Henebry’s try looked enough to send Galbally through until Con’s late rally .
