St Clement’s break Glenstal hearts with two late tries

St Clement’s College 20 Glenstal Abbey 17

With Glenstal leading 17-10 and holding on with a reasonable degree of comfort, St Clement’s threw everything at them in the closing stages, clawed back one try to leave just two points between the sides and then, in a dramatic finale, they struck for a try six minutes into injury-time to book a place in the next round, in which they will face local rivals and tournament favourites St Munchin’s.

Glenstal can only look back with regret, but they can be pleased at least that they contributed handsomely to a totally absorbing contest.
