It was Castleknock who made a bright start to this game. They made some big carries early on with Ian Birmingham impressive at number 8. He was held just short of the line after a well worked line-out. However, tighthead Ben Griffin was on hand to stretch for the line to make it 5-0 on the scoreboard. McDonough kept pinning back Belvedere in their own half. Belvedere were giving away needless penalties. Moreover, Birmingham once again went  close to getting a try. It again came from the line-out. However, he was held up, but Castleknock kept the pressure on and Griffin was on hand to get his second try of the day.

However, Belvedere didn’t really threaten Castleknock until around the 20th minute. Eoin MacAdaimh breaking away but it came to nothing. Sargeant also broke through the Castleknock defence but he tackled well by Conor Delaney. That man MacAdaimh went close late in the half but once again the Castleknock defence held firm. Alex Watson and Conor Duggan bundling him into touch.

Belvedere began the second half well and much better than the opening half. They got a try inside the opening 2 minutes of the half. Darragh Coan did well making a good run to just short of the line, however, centre Peter O’Farrell was on hand to finish off the move. Double try scorer Griffin was sin binned just before the hour mark. Belvedere took advantage of having the extra man and Sargeant went over.

Belvedere leading 14-12 after Tormey’s conversion . However, just a couple of minutes later Castleknock took the lead from a penalty which ended up been the winning score. The penalty came after Belvedere players went off their feet in the ruck. McDonough stepped up to kick the resulting penalty between the posts. They managed to hold onto the one point till the final whistle to book their place in the Leinster Senior Schools cup semi-finals.
