Hooker Pat Humphries scored the only try of the game as Garryowen picked up their tenth victory of the AIB League season with a 10-3 win at Stradbrook.
'Rock managed to nullify the threat of the Limerick side's pack in a dour first half that ended nil-all.
Garryowen fly half Conor Kilroy, a former Blackrock favourite, opened the scoring in the second half with a sweetly struck penalty. Rock replied with a drop goal from Phil Caldwell, but only after Humphries, who came in for Damien Varley - a late call-up to the Munster bench today, had touched down from a concerted forward drive.
