Garryowen secure tenth win of the season

Blackrock College 3 Garryowen 10

Hooker Pat Humphries scored the only try of the game as Garryowen picked up their tenth win of the AIB League season by beating hosts Blackrock 10-3 at Stradbrook.

‘Rock managed to nullify the threat of the Limerick side’s pack in a dour first half that ended nil-all.

Garryowen fly half Conor Kilroy, a former Blackrock favourite, opened the scoring in the second half with a sweetly struck penalty. ‘Rock replied with a drop goal from Phil Caldwell, but only after Humphries, who came in for Damien Varley – a late call-up to the Munster bench today, had touched down from a concerted forward drive.
