Leinster Schools’ Senior Cup

Donnybrook
A brace of second-half tries from Zak Vaughan proved decisive at Donnybrook yesterday when Terenure College beat neighbours St Mary’s in the Leinster Schools Senior Cup first round.
Two successful place-kicks by centre Alexei Schuster – in response to Mark Fabian’s opening three-pointer – ensured that Mary’s held a 6-3 interval cushion, but ‘Nure moved into the ascendancy upon the resumption with tries from Vaughan and full-back Sam Dardis. Mary’s eventually replied with a Tomas Tierney touchdown, before Vaughan’s second try meant that Terenure progressed.
