Holders Sligo Grammar power into another Schools Cup final

Reigning Connacht champions Sligo Grammar School (pictured) are back in another senior 'A' Schools Cup final following Wednesday's 17-10 victory over St Muredach's College, Ballina, at Heffernan Park.

Three first-half tries from the Grammar laid the platform for this win in testing weather conditions for both teams.

The winners failed to score in the second-half but defended well to keep their opponents at bay.

Sligo Grammar will face Marist College, Athlone, in the final, in a repeat of the 2023 Schools Cup decider.
