A hat-trick of tries by Colm Scanlan inspired St Mary's to victory over their Drogheda rivals St Oliver's. Leinster under-18 league champions Boyne provide the backbone of the Mary's squad, including Scanlan, and it showed, although Oliver's battled gamely to the end and deserved their scores.

Mary's led 10-0 at half-time, thanks to two tries from inside-centre Scanlan.
