Breakaway try for Rock on the stroke of half time to extend their lead to 15-3.
HT: Gonzaga 3-17 Blackrock
This would be one of Ireland’s most romantic sports stories if we win . St Francis’ appearance in the 1990 FAI Cup final and Leitrim’s 1994 win are similar fairytales .
Were Gonzaga imported from some rugby stronghold like Zimbabwe to make up the numbers?
Disappointing day in fairness. That’s cast a pall over the Law Library.
Still, it’ll be great to have the greatest Derby match in Irish sport on Paddys Day.

Disappointing but we will go again.
There is always next year but that is scant consolation to many of today’s warriors in green who will pass on to the various law faculties next year . Today will instill an inner resolve that will stand these young men in great stead .
True. But at least they know they will have stellar non rugby careers.

Ffs. These young lads have to get up for school in the morning.
So what are you billing the decider on St Patrick’s Day between the two most successful institutions in the storied history of the Senior Cup?

Jack McCaffrey v Michael Darragh McAuley
Kevin Barry v Eoin O’Broin

Today’s referee was Helen O Reilly . The Leinster branch must be fully commended on their policy of merit based refereeing appointments to the blue riband of domestic rugby.

you’d never get that in the gga
It is a bit unusual that there are no top level women’s referees alright in GAA.
Who’d make the sandwiches?
