Monivea will compete in Division Three of the AIB League next season after scoring a remarkable 35-3 play-off win over Waterpark in Waterford on Saturday.

Monivea have produced many fine performances down through the years but this was one of their greatest days as they join Connemara and Corinthians in Division Three next year.

Monivea have been knocking on the door for several years but it seemed another opportunity was going to slip by when they were defeated by Portadown in the first of the round-robin play-off games.

However, they scored late wins in their other two games to set-up a one-off play-off clash away to Waterpark, who finished second from bottom in Division Three this season.

And Monivea did it in style, running in five tries from Ger Divilly (2),Kevin Higgins, Mike Concarr and John Gavin after building up an early lead.
