Marist College players Andrew Cotton, Oisin O’Donoghue and Reuben Colleran celebrate with the Connacht Junior 'A' Schools Cup after their victory over Sligo Grammar School. Marist sink Sligo to claim Junior Cup crownMarist College 22 Sligo Grammar School 14The Marist College junior rugby team fulfilled the promise they had previously shown by claiming the Connacht Schools Junior Cup with victory over Sligo Grammar School in Wednesday afternoon's final at the Dexcom Stadium. But Carnegie finished off a bout of strong Sligo pressure with his second try (43rd minute), Mullan's successful conversion levelling matters at 14 apiece. A couple of minutes later, Marist forced a penalty a little bit outside the Sligo 22 and Cotton understandably opted for the posts. Some turnovers of possession in the face of strong Marist workrate and tackling proved costly for Sligo.
