Section A finalists Mount Temple found Cistercian Roscrea much too strong yesterday.

Roscrea lost full back Eoin Kealy with a leg injury early in the second half but they still progressed to a comfortable win.

Roscrea started the second half with a 17-0 advantage and Declan Cordial, who replaced Kealy and whose running put Mount Temple under greater pressure, crossed the line the 36th minute.

Cordial secured a second try with eight minutes of normal time remaining and there was enough time left for tries from Darren Mullane and Ivor Collins.

Cistercian Roscrea: E Kealy (pen and try), I Collins (try), M Boland, D Mullane (try), M Ruane, D Walsh (three convs), G Dolan, M Leahy, R Lee (try), A McIntyre, S Fraser (try), J Meskell, D McNamara, R Kerley, D Guilfoyle Sub; D Cordial (two tries) for Kealy

Mount Temple: R Arthurs, G Rafferty, P O'Dea, J Carley, M McDonald, D Caria, A O'Toole, B Taylor, A Corcoran, L Sweetman, J Laffey, M Murray, M James, A Bradley and P Dowling Subs; E O'Connor for Corcoran, A Sabonga for Rafferty, E Naughton for Arthurs and V Taylor for Taylor
