Mixed fortunes for Tipp teams in Schools Cup semi-finals

Rockwell College eased past Glenstal Abbey in the Munster Schools Senior Cup semi final yesterday.

The game at Thomond Park saw Rockwell run out winners on a scoreline of 22 points to 3 to end Glenstal's hopes of reaching a first final in 45 years. The Limerick school had beaten defending champions Crescent College in the previous round. 

Rockwell will now face Ardscoil Ris in the final at Thomond Park on St Patrick’s Day.

Meanwhile Cistercian College Roscrea are facing into a replay in their Leinster Senior Schools Cup semi-final against Newbridge College. 

They came from 8 – 0 down after 16 minutes to draw the game 8 – all thanks to a try from Keith Kavanagh and a penalty from Tim Foley.

The replay has been set for Monday next in Donnybrook
