Hanrahan the inspiration for Bohs

UL Bohemian 16 Garryowen 12

The hitherto unbeaten Garryowen were made to play second fiddle for much of the 80 minutes against a hungrier and better organised UL Bohemian side who scored the game’s only try. Bohs held the edge everywhere except at line-out time, but, with Sean Rennison, Ian Condell and Conor Kindregan forming an outstanding back-row, the quick ball they constantly produced at breakdown time enabled Sheridan and Hanrahan to play a crucial role.

Hanrahan certainly picked up where he had left off in scoring two tries for Munster the previous week and surely Rob Penney will have to give the former Rockwell man even more serious claims to more regular appearances at the highest level.
