Crescent show the stuff of champions
Crescent had all the opening quarter play but remarkably found themselves in arrears after 15 minutes when Rowan Palmer intercepted a likely scoring pass inside his ’22 and raced away for a try under the posts Brian McSweeney converted.
Crescent continued to dominate territory but also continued to make a succession of handling errors before finally putting together a fine backline movement that ended with Darragh O’Shea battling his way over in the corner. When full back Colm Quilligan added a second and Jack Delaney kicked the conversion, it was 12-5 to the Limerick side at the break and that reflected the run of play.
