Bohemians facing relegation battle
UL Bohemians 15 St Mary's College 3
Bottom side UL Bohemians must go to Cork to face their bogey team Cork Constitution next weekend in a final attempt to preserve their top flight status in the Ulster Bank League.
The Limerick side caused a big upset at Annacotty this afternoon when they beat St. Mary's College 15-3 in a game that failed to produce a try.
That will not worry UL who capitalised on indiscipline by the visitors who were penalised twice inside 19 minutes for not releasing the ball on the deck. Each time Ben Martin exacted full punishment by landing the penalty kicks.
Second row Darragh Frawley also landed a huge penalty and then six minutes before the interval, former Munster player Mossy Lawler dropped a neat goal to make it 12-0 at the break.
Bohemians got a scare 15 minutes into the second half when Gavin Dunne was successful with a penalty for the visitors, but home nerves were settled when Martin landed his third penalty 19 minutes from the end.
Scorers: UL Bohemians: Pens: Ben Martin 3, Darragh Frawley; Drop: Mossy Lawler
St. Mary’s College: Pen: Gavin Dunne
