CISTERCIAN COLLEGE ROSCREA set up a Leinster Schools Senior Cup clash against St Mary’s thanks to their 22 – 19 win over Wesley College in Clontarf this afternoon.

Liam Crowley’s second half try added to James Corcoran’s score and the kicking of Billy Foley pushed the Tipperary school to a 22 – 12 lead entering the closing stages of the contest before Wesley closed the gap late on.

The draw for the second round took place in Old Wesley clubhouse immediately after St Mary’s enthralling win over St Andrew’s in Donnybrook, the Rathmines school last out of the hat and pitted against Roscrea.
