Rugby: Cork Con defeat Galwegians

Cork Con 16, Galwegians 10 (full-time)

Cork Con scored a decisive win in the AIL Division One at Temple Hill this afternoon.

Con were straight into the attack and were awarded a penalty in the first minute which Conor O’Mahony duly converted.

Galwegians fought back in the 14th minute with a superb solo try from Gavin Duffy which was duly converted by Eric Elwood.

Two Conor O’Mahony penalties saw Cork Con edge ahead 9-7.

In a scrappy first-half Con finished with a flourish with a Ronan O’Donovan try which was converted by O’Mahony.

Scores were scarcer in the second half and it was not until the 68th minute that Galwegians reduced the Con lead from a Duffy penalty.

There was no more scores in the game as Cork Con held out for the win.
