Their involvement in this competition cannot be question, they’re one of the more long standing participants in the tournament as I’m sure geoff can confirm.
Roscrea lead 19-17 at half time:
Sounds a classic .
The team of the people may have shot their bolt here, you feel.
Not a bit of it, they’ve gone over in the corner to regain the lead 22-19. Difficult conversion coming up.

Conversion missed, remains 22-19.
Unreal try under the posts for Gonzaga, 29-19 now.
Sensational from Gonzaga, scrum on their own 22 and they scythe through the Roscrea midfield and under the post. 29-19 ahead now.

This will be a real high point of the Cardinal Bergoglio papacy if the Jesuits bag three of the semi final places. I don’t believe it has ever happened before.
Gonzaga camped on the Roscrea line again and they’re over! 34-19. Difficult conversion to come.

Another try for Gonzaga, they’re running riot. 34-19
First time for Gonzaga to reach the semi finals of the Senior Cup.
@myboyblue - Luke Rigney on for Roscrea. Would he be a scion of the famous Portlaoise hurling/rugby clan?
Roscrea breakout from their own 22 and prop forward Lomas goes over for a try.
Conversion missed. Gonzaga by 36-24.
To steal Sylvie Linnane’s line to Nicky English in 1988 - 12 months.
Gonzaga over for another try 41-24. Conversion will probably see the full time whistle.
He is indeed. I’m not sure whose he is, but I’d hazard a guess at Des. Would have had him at 19 or more mind you…
Is that age or weight you’re referring to? He’s a well built lad.
Age anyway, but he wouldn’t be small either. He can be found doing a shift in Copper Portlaoise of a weekend. The Rigneys are big family.
Incredible. Today is as much about alumni like Jim O’Callaghan, Peter Sutherland, Tony Ensor and Eamon Ryan who have worn that green jersey with distinction and @balbec.
Draw coming up now in a few minutes.
