ENERGIA ALL-IRELAND LEAGUE MEN’S DIVISIONS ROUND-UP -
Young Munster grabbed two tries in each half to hand Shannon a heavy 32-3 beating in Energia All-Ireland League Men’s Division 1A.
Impressive hooker Dan Walsh started the try-scoring for the in-form Cookies, crashing over from a 12th-minute lineout platform, as Shannon struggled to get going under the Thomond Park floodlights.
Out-half Mike Cooke kicked the hosts’ only points from a seventh-minute penalty, but they were 17-3 behind at half-time after Munster’s Conor Phillips used his pace to finish smartly from a classy cross-field by Evan Cusack.
Shannon, who had been held up before the break, left another opportunity behind them with a crooked lineout throw. Conor Hayes effectively sealed the result with a penalty for Gearoid Prendergast’s men in the 67th minute.
Munsters finished with a flourish to bag a late bonus point, Walsh registering his fifth try of the campaign from a maul before Hayes went over in the left corner, profiting from Donnchadh O’Callaghan’s sniping run and pass off the ground.
Clontarf’s mastery of the lineout maul was the difference in their late 29-22 win over Cork Constitution at Temple Hill.
Cork Con had to play the final 25 minutes without red-carded flanker Jack Kelleher, who picked up his second yellow for a deliberate knock-on.
Despite that, the teams looked to be heading for a share of the spoils until a Michael Courtney try drove Clontarf back to winning ways after recent defeats to Terenure College and Munsters.
Conor Kelly and George Coomber exchanged early penalties, ‘Tarf’s powerful maul drawing an infringement from Con captain Aidan Moynihan who was promptly dispatched to the sin bin.
Kelleher’s collapsing of a drive from the visitors’ pack also saw him binned, yet ‘Tarf’s penalty try was cancelled out by a 32nd-minute effort from James Murphy. Indeed, Con led 15-10 at the break thanks to a Billy Crowley score.
The sides were level twice more during the second half, ‘Tarf hitting back in the 53rd minute when influential number 8 Tony Ryan rumbled over to turn pressure into points.
‘Tarf hooker Dylan Donnellan beat a familiar path to the try-line, registering his seventh try of the season off another maul, but Con replacement Alessandro Heaney showed quick reactions to nab his fourth and square things up at 22-all.
Con missed out on retaking the lead in the 71st minute, a penalty attempt from Moynihan missing the target. The title holders made them pay, as they chipped away before Courtney made his way in under the posts.
In-form centre George Pringle touched down in each half as Ballynahinch handed bottom side Garryowen a 28-10 defeat at Dooradoyle.
‘Hinch also forced a penalty try, and Ulster’s Ben Moxham crossed in the eighth minute, as Adam Craig’s charges won for the first time in three league matches.
While Pringle took his season’s haul to seven tries, prop Michael Veale put his name to Garryowen’s only score. Jamie Heuston was back to captain the struggling Light Blues from full-back.
Caolan Dooley kicked 13 points, including the conversions of tries from Luke Clohessy and Alan Bennie, as leaders Terenure College edged out Dublin University 23-21 in a tense battle at Lakelands Park.
Trinity became the first team to prevent Terenure from bagging a try bonus point this season, but a late Dooley penalty consigned them to defeat. He repeated the trick from last season when he was ‘Nure’s goal-kicking hero at College Park.
Ronan Quinn’s expertly-finished try from an Aran Egan kick-through had the students on the cusp of victory, only for Dooley to rifle over a right-footed penalty to make it eight wins out of eight for Sean Skehan’s men.
UCD were presented with the Sutherland Cup, which is in memory of Peter Sutherland’s father, the great Billy Sutherland, after overcoming Lansdowne 27-26 in a thrilling finish at the UCD Bowl.
Kevin Croke’s youngsters picked up their second victory in three rounds, with full-back Niall Carroll crossing for two tries and centre Tim Corkery starring with 12 points, including three successful kicks.
Meanwhile, Connacht Academy winger Josh O’Connor helped himself to four tries during Buccaneers’ 44-13 dismissal of Banbridge. Eddie O’Sullivan’s men lead the Division 1B table by four points from City of Armagh.
Dylan Nelson’s hat-trick propelled Armagh to a 38-27 victory over Naas, while Conor Dean and Hugo Conway had a try each in St. Mary’s hard-fought 15-10 success at Old Wesley.
Ariel Robles ran in a brace during Old Belvedere’s 29-13 home win over Malone, and the Cork derby spoils went to Highfield, hooker Travis Coomey crossing twice as they overcame UCC 29-10.
ENERGIA ALL-IRELAND LEAGUE WOMEN’S DIVISION SEMI-FINALS ROUND-UP -
Blackrock College and defending champions Railway Union, the top two finishers in the table, will contest next Friday’s Energia All-Ireland League Women’s Division final.
Fittingly, it was Blackrock’s inspirational captain Michelle Claffey who crashed over in the 64th minute to set up a repeat of last season’s decider in Donnybrook.
UL Bohemians, whose only try saw Nicole Cronin jink over following a maul, really put it up to Blackrock in tricky, wet conditions at Stradbrook, but Ben Martin’s table toppers triumphed 13-8.
The young Bohs team blew an early maul opportunity, on the back of a dominant scrum. Jackie Shiels also lifted the pressure on the Blackrock defence with a turnover penalty in her own 22.
The Red Robins meant business, their skipper Chloe Pearse bulldozing Tatum Bird out of the way with Kate Sheehan and Eva McCormack also prominent. Ella Durkan gained consistent yards for Blackrock from deep, but neither try-line was threatened.
Indeed, the first half finished scoreless despite Brianna Heylmann growing in influence for Niamh Briggs’ side as a midfield carrier. Vice-captain Cronin threatened with a chip and collect, but Blackrock did well in scrambling back.
‘Rock began to get to grips with proceedings, amid a heavy rain show approaching half-time. Emma Hooban and the returning Dorothy Wall brought impact off the bench, and Shiels forced another turnover penalty early on the restart. Méabh Deely stepped up to open the scoring.
Cronin quickly responded to make it three points apiece, only for ‘Rock to exert more territorial dominance. Aoife Moore ripped possession back in a tackle and Mairead Holohan stole a lineout to keep Martin’s charges playing in the right areas of the pitch.
They created numbers on the left in the 53rd minute, well-timed passes from Shiels and the hard-running Maeve Liston releasing full-back Deely to go over in the left corner for the game’s opening try. It went unconverted.
Bohs needed no second invitation after successive penalties landed them back into the Blackrock 22. Fiona Reidy did well to flick back maul possession, and Cronin ducked inside Hooban and evaded Holohan’s clutches to make it eight-all from a few metres out.
After the out-half’s difficult conversion from the left fell short, Blackrock swiftly retook the lead. Hannah O’Connor’s counter ruck led to a penalty, and Bohs leaked another one before Claffey burrowed over with Maeve Óg O’Leary on the latch.
Deely’s conversion came back off the left-hand post, leaving just five points in it. Blackrock showed their experience to clinch the result, particularly at the breakdown where Shiels and Laura Feely both won penalties to pin Bohs back in their own half.
Meanwhile, Railway Union pulled clear in the second half to defeat Old Belvedere 34-19 at Park Avenue. It leaves John Cronin’s side just 80 minutes away from a famous All-Ireland League three-in-a-row.
Railway signalled their intent with a barnstorming run up the left from Aimee Clarke, the home pack having an early crack at a try but Katie O’Dwyer was held up and Belvedere starlet Dannah O’Brien soon cleared back towards halfway with a cracking kick.
The Tullow youngster followed up with a fine touch finder from a penalty, and Rachel Murphy’s short lineout throw sent prop Alice O’Dowd over for a try in the right corner.
O’Brien, the division’s leading points scorer, increased her influence with an excellent conversion, 10 minutes in. It was her inviting pass that released Elise O’Byrne-White from halfway for ‘Belvo’s second try.
Clarke had too much space to cover, with the ‘Belvo centre breezing past on the inside and she then shrugged off Lindsay Peat and Molly Scuffil-McCabe to finish off a superb solo score, making it 12-0.
Emma Tilly and Belvedere captain Deirbhile Nic a Bhaird both pilfered possession, the latter at a lineout, but Railway cut the gap to seven points when Scuffil-McCabe dummied to score out wide from Nikki Caughey’s cross-field kick.
Caughey missed the conversion and O’Brien also sent a penalty wide, before ‘Belvo built through the phases. Nic a Bhaird punched a hole in the defence and scrum half Katie Whelan expertly sniped from the ruck, dummying and then fending off Ailsa Hughes to raid in beside the posts.
Railway were under plenty of pressure now at 19-5 down, the straightforward conversion added by O’Brien. Crucially, they made inroads before half-time to whittle the visitors’ lead down to just two points.
Successive penalties led to a well-worked maul try from Peat, which Caughey converted, and on the stroke of half-time, Sonia McDermott wrestled her way over following a great charge by her sister Aoife off a lineout.
Strong running from Peat and Hughes sent Belvedere back towards their own try-line, early in the second half. With Caughey moving the ball wide, nice footwork from Aoife Doyle took her over the whitewash to put the hosts in front.
Caughey nailed the tough conversion as well to open up a 24-19 advantage, but she was soon turned over by Niamh O’Dowd for the concession of a penalty. Railway skipper Niamh Byrne made sure to return the favour, as the breakdown became even more competitive.
Swedish international Minonna Nunstedt gave ‘Belvo momentum with a slashing run deep into the Railway 22, only for the home defence to hold firm. Clarke also tidied up a dangerous cross-field kick from O’Brien.
Nic a Bhaird lifted her teammates with a tremendous run off the back of a scrum, yet creating scoring chances was proving more difficult. Into the closing stages, the Ireland-capped Caughey floated over a penalty to keep the scoreboard moving in the right direction.
It was a run of 29 unanswered points in the end, Railway’s aggressive defending paying off during the dying seconds when Peat, having just been part of a big scrum shove, was well supported as she drove in low to complete her brace.
After showing huge improvements of late, Wicklow will have a shot at silverware when they host Galwegians, last season’s runners-up, in next Saturday’s Conference final.
Second-row Rachel Griffey scored two of Wicklow’s eight tries in a 46-12 semi-final dismissal of Ballincollig. A late try from captain Nicole Fowley gave ‘Wegians a 15-10 verdict at home to Suttonians.
