Video: Amazing scenes at full-time as Roscrea reach Leinster Senior Cup final

Roscrea have never won the Senior Cup, but it'll be one hell of a party if they do.
The Cistercian College reached just their fifth ever final this afternoon, overcoming Newbridge 20-19 in their semi final replay in Donnybrook. They clung on after some nervy moments to book their place in the St Patrick's Day decider against Belvedere College. Three first half tries had Roscrea 20-12 up at the break, but when Newbridge's Jake Howlett hit back with a try 10 minutes from time, it set up a nervy finale. Newbridge couldn't complete the comeback however, as Roscrea's defence stood tall, ensuring they'd be back in Dublin next Tuesday for their second final appearance in five years, having reached just three in the previous 124. The full-time whistle brought scenes of both joy and despair, the type that only sport can produce. https://twitter.com/SetantaSports/status/574987053634621440Explore more on these topics:
