Late Padraig Leamy try breaks St Munchin’s resistance

Rockwell College 28 St Munchin’s College 18: With 10 minutes to go in this Senior Cup first round clash and St Munchin’s back on level terms thanks to a superb Tyrone O’Halloran solo try, progress to the quarter-finals looked wide open.

But Rockwell dug deep and produced a late flourish to secure passage to the next stage. Jason Kiely was just wide with the Munchin’s conversion attempt and within a minute Rockwell had gone to the other end of the pitch as Ryan O’Sullivan and Andrew Daly opened up the defence and provided the chance for Padraig Leamy, who still had plenty of work to do but managed to touch down in the corner.

Jake Flannery sent over a fine conversion and then made the game safe six minutes later with a penalty, meaning no way back for the Limerick college.
