Marian College powered past a game but outclassed Castlecomer at Kildare yesterday.

The winners led 29-0 at halftime and simply had too much for the Kilkenny side, running in six tries despite the wet and windy conditions.

Prop Thomas Fitzpatrick crossed for three tries, while centre Ciaran Connolly bagged a brace in an impressive performance.
