St Mary's back to winning ways

St Mary's College 31 Dungannon 10

St Mary's fly half Jonathan Sexton scored 26 points as the Dubliners got the better of Dungannon at Templeville Road.

Sexton, who was named in the Irish squad for next Friday's U-21 6 Nations opener against Italy in Athlone, scored two tries, one in either half, two conversions and four penalties in a brilliant display.

Flanker Adrian Copeland notched a first half try to help Mary's lead 21-3 at the break.

Former Under-21 international Gareth Steenson had kicked a penalty for 'Gannon and he converted captain Andy Hughes' late try.

The win ends Mary's two-game losing streak.
