High School 10 King's Hospital 10: A last-gasp try from right wing Iain Lane gave High School a replay next Wednesday in the Fr Godfrey Junior Cup semi-final at Seapoint yesterday.

It was due reward for not allowing their heads to drop when King's Hospital exploded into life in the first 10 minutes.

A penalty from outhalf Brian Marron and his conversion of scrum-half Peter du Toit's try following a break from the base of a scrum made it 10-0.

High School held out to the break and they benefited from Hospital's indiscipline by making ground for out-half Ciarán Collins to halve the deficit with a try. It was left to Lane to guarantee the replay in an exciting climax.
