Garryowen overcome St Mary's

Garryowen 20 St Mary's College 6

Garryowen played themselves back into the play-off picture with a well-judged win over St Mary’s College at a rain-soaked Dooradoyle.

First half tries from out-half Alan Kingsley, centre Conan Doyle and flanker Anthony Kavanagh helped the Limerick men move up to fourth in the Division One table.

A penalty in each half from number 10 Frank Lynch kept Mary's in the hunt.

But despite having hooker Colin Varley sent-off and winger Ciaran O'Boyle sin-binned, Garryowen held firm for their third league win on the trot.
