Garryowen Close Gap On Leaders

Garryowen have moved to within a point of leaders Galwegians in Division 1B of the Ulster Bank League.

Garryowen 37 – 14 U.L. Bohemian

A bonus point win for Garryowen at Dooradoyle sees them just a point behind leaders Galwegians with just three games remaining, after a convincing victory over local rivals U.L. Bohemian.

Both these sides will be eagerly keeping a close eye on tomorrow’s game in Belfast between relegation threatened Malone and promotion chasing Ballymena as well as the Shannon v Dublin University tie at Thomond Park.

Garryowen led 18-0 at half time with tries from Josh Hrstich and James Frawley and a conversion and two penalties by Jamie Gavin.

Tries from skipper Dave Sherry and Alex Wootton both converted by Gavin secured Garryowen the bonus point.

Ian Condell opened the visitors account with a try which Robbie Bourke converted but Garryowen hit back with a fifth try from Jamie Glynn.

Four Minutes from time Tim Rafferty scored a try for Bohs and Shane Airey converted.
