Thu, Oct 10, 2013

Titans, reinforced by off-season signings American Chris Coyne, Tomas Mitkus, who transferred from Maree, and Emmet Murphy from Ballincollig were clear favourites to win. And that appeared likely when Titans took a 35-20 lead by the middle of the second quarter over a depleted Maree squad, which included 16-year-old debutant Charlie Crowley.
