Dublin Uni celebrate first win of the season

St Mary's College 19 Dublin University 23

Dublin University finally have a league win to celebrate this season – the students did enough to warrant the four points away to St Mary’s College.

First half tries from hooker and captain Matt Crockett and lock Martin Garvey, who were both scoring for the second time in the space of a week, catapulted Trinity into a 17-7 half-time lead.

Philip Brophy notched the Mary’s try.

Trinity wilted after the break as Mary’s fly-half Jonathan Sexton and James Norton, with the last scoring act, both managed tries but two Johnny Watt penalties pushed the visitors too far in front.
