Classy Ardscoil crush Glenstal in Munster Schools Senior Cup

Ardscoil Ris were too strong for Glenstal Abbey in yesterday’s Munster Schools Senior Cup game at the Markets Field and came out on top by 27-10.

The much anticipated clash between the two Limerick schools proved to be a one sided affair with Ardscoil scoring four tries to Glenstal’s one.

The game started evenly with Taylor Gleeson putting Glenstal in front with a penalty that was immediately cancelled out by Alex O’Halloran for Ardscoil.

Ardscoil took control on 18 minutes when James Hourigan was quickest to react after to a loose ball on the Glenstal line for the game’s first try that O’Halloran converted.

The North Circular Road school were in for a second try moments later when Jack Ward-Murphy blitzed through the Glenstal defence and finished off a 55 metre run.

Glenstal did get a response in before the break through a well taken Darragh Hanly try, but Ben McEnery’s response saw Ardscoil lead 20-10 at half time.

Scores were at a premium in the second half with Ardscoil eventually scoring a fourth try through John Moloney. They play St Munchin’s in the second round of the Munster Schools Senior Cup.
