A combined Old Crescent RFC-St Senan’s RFC team took on Listowel RFC in the North Munster U-16 Conference Final in Rosbrien last Wednesday.

Listowel started the better with a penalty and two tries inside the first twenty minutes to put them 13 points clear. The home side fought back with a Mark McGarry penalty and a try by Mark Hickey either side of half time to bring the score to 8-13.

Both teams gave it everything in a very intense second half but a brilliant intercept try by substitute Timothy Duggan and a well worked try by Adam Shire gave Old Crescent/St Senan’s the advantage going into the final minutes.

Four minutes from time, Duggan scored again to give Old Crescent RFC-St Senan’s RFC the victory by 23 points to 13 in a very entertaining match.
