A bonus-try victory by the comfortable scoreline of 33-7 over close neighbours Shannon in a taut Limerick AIL derby at Tom Clifford Park last night ensures that Young Munster will again be involved in Division One rugby next season.

Lansdowne continue to look the team to beat in Ulster Bank League Division 1A after winning at Tom Clifford Park for the first time since 2011, while defending champions Cork Constitution have leapfrogged Terenure College in pursuit of the second home semi-final berth.

Lansdowne 24 Cork Constitution 10: Scott Deasy came back to scupper his former club on the Aviva Stadium’s back pitch yesterday as Lansdowne earned a 24-10 win over Ulster Bank League champions Cork Constitution.

Cork Constitution cruised past Nenagh Ormond in their Munster Senior Cup quarter-final clash in Ballintemple, scoring 8 tries in a 57-10 demolition of the Division 2A side.

Young Munster 35 Old Belvedere 36: The Ulster Bank All-Ireland League got off to the best possible start at Tom Clifford Park on Saturday, when Old Belvedere and Young Munster provided a thriller from which the visitors emerged victorious by a point (36-35).

Young Munster 14 UL/Bohemian 13: With Young Munster comfortably located in the middle of the premier division of the Ulster Bank All-Ireland League and UL Bohemian struggling in the lower half of Division One B, current form meant there should have been only one result in last night’s Munster Senior Cup quarter-final clash of the sides at Tom Clifford Park.

At the end of the current rugby season, Irish rugby will say goodbye to a long time servant of the game.
