Another convincing display by the Robins saw them run in 9 tries and 5 conversions to defeat Ballincollig RFC in the Munster Senior Cup by 55 points to Nil.

UL Bohemian U14 Boys lost out Narrowly to Old Crescent RFC in a brilliant display of rugby by both teams in hard conditions.

Away to neighbours Old Crescent for this fixture with both teams having fared well in their respective opening salvos a couple of weeks previously. Conditions were mixed, a typical autumnal Irish affair, not too fond of the weather, just wait five minutes as they say. Both teams fought hard to get into the game with some handling errors creeping in which interrupted momentum. Odhran Gilroy at nine made a couple of brilliant reads to steal away possession from his opposing number while both packs were scrummaging with intent under the stewardship of the Referee. Cormac Devitt ran in one off…
