Mon 04 Apr 2007Garryowen show gritAll-Ireland League Round-up:Garryowen, with trademark grittiness, gave themselves a play-off lifeline at the top of the AIB All-Ireland League first division with a hard-earned 12-10 win over Clontarf at Castle Avenue in Saturday's televised match of the day.The Dooradoyle club still lie just outside the top four on points difference behind their Limerick rivals Shannon and will probably need a bonus-point win in their final match at home to Galwegians in a fortnight, while hoping one of the three teams above them slip up.
