BOI Munster Junior Cup reaches the quarter final stage

THIS season’s Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup is at the quarter final stage with Limerick clubs still in contention.
Shannon beat Mallow 28-6, St Mary’s got the better of Castleisland 15-5 and Thomond advanced after beating Newcastle West 28-15. Out go Old Crescent who lost to UCC and Young Munster were beaten by Skibbereen 10-16. Kilfeacle and District won 13-10 against Garryowen.

St Mary’s had a big crowd at their Grove Island venue and they got good value with the ‘Saints’ advancing thanks to that 15-5 victory over Castleisland, Shannon had a good win over Mallow and in the ‘match of the day’ Thomond had to work hard to get the better of Newcastle West after trailing 12-0 in the first quarter. Two tries by Luke Costelloe and conversions from Luke Fitzgerald saw the home side lead 14-12 at the break. Newcastle West did themselves no favours with two yellow cards and a Jamie McGarry try and a penalty by Evan Cusack saw the Soda Cakes go through. Newcastle West’s scorers were Daniel Normoyle and Liam Tracey a try each and a conversion and a penalty by Shane Airey.
