Rockwell began the game by putting huge defensive pressure on the Glenstal team and were rewarded with a Jake Flannery penalty in the fifth minute. Glenstal eventually settled and went in at the break all square thanks their captain Ben Healy’s penalty. Glenstal weathered that storm and put themselves back in the Rockwell 22 when Downey won another penalty at the breakdown. Healy nailed the conversion to put Glenstal seven points up, but there was still a sting left in the Rockwell tail. Replacements:J O’Meara for Grogan (43), R O’Sullivan for Cotter (43), J O’Sullivan for Mangan (75).
