AIB LEAGUE DIVISION ONE BUCCANEERS 21 UL BOHEMIAN 23
FERGAL LAWLOR snatched a dramatic victory for UL Bohs with a try six minutes into injury time at Dubarry park, Athlone yesterday.
Mark Bruce had seemingly clinched the win for Buccs when he touched down four minutes into injury time but the Limerick out-half had other ideas.
Tries from Gearoid O'Grady and Conor O'Loughlin gave the home side a 13-3 half-time lead. But the visitors hit back with second-half tries from Mark Butler and the outstanding Ben Martin, edging 18-13 in front.
Then came the real drama.
Tom Cregan's penalty preceding those late tries by Bruce and Lawlor.
