Shannon 32 Highfield 12DIVISION 2A PROMOTION/RELEGATION PLAY-OFF FINAL: Skerries 30 Bruff 15SHANNON HELD HIGHFIELD try-less and scored four of their own as an impressive second half performance saw them win 32-12 to retain their Division 1A status.
Two early penalties from out-half Taylor settled Highfield into their stride, the latter one courtesy of a clever attack off a lineout. Munster Academy scrum half Ethan Coughlan was fortunate to get away with a late tackle on Taylor. He popped up a few phases later to send his half-back partner Cooke sniping over for a 32nd-minute try, past Kingston’s attempted tackle.Shannon’s lead was a brief one, though, as Highfield’s powerful pack forced the issue approaching the interval. Tighthead Daragh Fitzgerald earned a scrum penalty and Taylor took the points for a 12-10 advantage for the Division 1B outfit.
Meanwhile, talented young full-back Ronan Mulcahy scored 20 points as Skerries clinched promotion to Division 2B with a 30-15 play-off final victory over Bruff. Elsewhere, Harry Byrne’s 79th-minute penalty completed a stirring comeback from UL Bohemians who beat Dungannon 20-16 at Annacotty to hold onto their Division 2A place.
