Shannon 16 Galwegians 5

Shannon got the better of a stubborn Galwegians side at Coonagh to get back to winning ways in the AIB League.

Mick Galwey's men kept hold of second place in the table with assistance from Munster trio Alan Quinlan, Tony Buckley and Donnacha Ryan, who all played 80 minutes.

Wind-backed 'Wegians led 5-3 at half-time thanks to centre Brett Sweeney's 38th-minute try.

But Quinlan's quick tap set up replacement Colm McMahon for a 53rd-minute try and victory was Shannon's when winger Stephen Kelly went over late on.

Scorers:

Shannon: Tries: Colm McMahon, Stephen Kelly; Pens: Andrew Thompson 2

Galwegians: Try: Brett Sweeney
