Castletroy & Rockwell End In Draw

Castletroy College and Rockwell College will meet again in the Munster Junior Cup quarter final on Thursday, 6th March at Clanwilliam F.C. following a 10-10 draw today at Thomond Park.

Castletroy College 10, Rockwell College 10.
The SEAT Munster Schools Junior Cup was thrown into more chaos after fourth quarter final tie between holders Castletroy College and Rockwell finished all square in the first game to be played on the new back pitch in Thomond Park.

The sides will have to meet again next Thursday at Clanwilliam Park with a 3pm kick off after which the draw will be made for the semi finals.
Discipline proved costly for

the holders as they had two players yellow carded at different stages of the game.

Rockwell’s number 8 Conor Cashman opened the scoring on twenty three minutes when he crashed over the line following a maul to leave the Tipperary side 5-0 ahead at half time.

Castletroy hit the front early in the second half when Sean English scored his fourth try of the campaign and Rory Hannon converted.

Hannon was again on target shortly after with a penalty.

Eight minutes from time Jake Flannery got in for a try for Rockwell to tie up the scores.

Rory Hannon had a chance to win it at the death but his penalty effort from thirty metres was off target and so the sides will have to it all again on Thursday.
