Michael's begin Schools' Cup defence with resounding win, Gerard's see off King's Hospital

The quarter-final line-up for the Leinster Senior Cup has been finalised.

ST MICHAEL’S KICKED off the defence of their Leinster Schools Senior Cup by brutalising debutants Temple Carrig 67-0. 

Temple Carrig qualified for the competition for the first time through the Vinnie Murray Cup, but ran into the relentless champions, who were 29-0 up by half-time. They were in no mood to let up, and tagged on just the 38 points after half-time to run out 67-0 winners. 

Elsewhere today, St Gerard’s were 20-5 winners over King’s Hospital. 

Scrum-half Saul Fitzpatrick was first to cross for Gerard’s, with Aidan Long touching down before half-time. Between those tries, Patrick Burke tagged on a conversion and a penalty while Adam Bagnall scored a try for King’s Hospital to leave the half-time score reading 15-5. 

Callan O’Reilly scored the only try of the second-half, crossing to give Gerard’s a 20-5 victory. 

While Michael’s and Gerard’s go forth to the last eight, King’s Hospital and Temple Carrig face off in the Vinny Murray Cup.

    @Ardmore02: like many that were employed by the top clubs more like it.

    Ronaldo, Mourinho, xabi alonso, Marcelo and Modric got done at Real while Diego costa got done at Athletico. It’s rife in Spain

    When Xavi and Iniesta retired the writing was on the wall for Barca. They are a shell of a team these days even with Messi who is at a level below Ronaldo since both hit the 30 mark.
