Garryowen hung on to a slender lead to end St Mary's five-match unbeaten run in a tense AIB All-Ireland Division One game this evening. With just four minutes to go, John McWeeney sprinted away from the chasing forwards to touch down for St Mary's, narrowing Garryowen's lead to just 25-24. However, the pressure was all on Mark McHugh, but the centre's conversion drifted to the left of the posts. Kicking proved to be crucial in the game at Templeville Road, with Jeremy Staunton scoring three drop-goals for Garryowen. This defeat ends St Mary's play-off hopes.
