Neil Cronin was Garryowen’s top scorer, accounting for 25 points of their total while Ronan McKenna kicked 15 points for the Rosbrien side.

In the second semi-final on Saturday, Nenagh Ormond take on UL Bohemian at New Ormond Park with both sides winning low scoring quarter finals. The North Tipperary side recorded a 14-7 home win over Shannon, while UL Bohemian defeated Thomond 19-15 at Liam Fitzgerald Park.

The final of the Cork Charity Cup sees Cork Constitution taking on UCC at Temple Hill on Saturday. The Temple Hill side will be aiming to win the trophy for the third successive season, while the Students last won the trophy in 1982.

The Lilywhites ran out 18-10 winners over Highfield at Woodleigh Park in a repeat of last season’s decider. The Students defeated Dolphin 9-3 at the Mardyke with a hat trick of penalties from James Taylor.
