ALL-IRELAND LEAGUE DIVISION 1A/St Mary's College 15 Old Belvedere 10:ST MARY'S recorded a third successive win as Old Belvedere's poor run in the league continued at Templeville Road last night.
Old Belvedere, who were playing into a very strong breeze, conceded a penalty in front of their own posts which Gavin Dunne converted on 10 minutes.
The champions were level when off an initial break from Marcus McAllister, they got a straightforward penalty which Danny Riordan duly slotted over.
Midway through the half Dunne was to restore St Mary’s lead and there was further light between the two when Dunne slotted over on 26 minutes.
Despite the introduction of Andy Dunne, Belvedere fell further behind with Dunne (56 and 72 mins) slotting over two more penalties before Peter Woods raced in for a try with two minutes to go which Riordan converted.
