Garryowen 8 Young Munster 14: Young Munster took a giant step towards qualifying for the semi-finals of this season’s Ulster Bank League with a hard fought 14-8 Division 1A derby victory over local rivals Garryowen at Dooradoyle last night.

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.
