CORK CONSTITUTION captain Jerry Murray had every reason to smile after his side exacted sweet revenge on Buccaneers to book a place in the AIB League final next weekend.

Cork Constitution will be slight favourites to beat Buccaneers in the All-Ireland League semi-final at Temple Hill on Saturday.

Douglas NS 3-6 St Anthony’s NS 1-8

WILD celebrations in Castle Avenue. The AIL has certainly mattered in this part of North Dublin this year. Clontarf have looked like the best team in the competition and, when the chips came down with the rain on Saturday, they proved it, beating Buccaneers 20-6

Clontarf 20, Buccaneers 6

Buccaneers chalked up their biggest ever win in the top flight with a nine try haul that moves them away from the drop zone and leaves DLSP with serious relegation concerns after this mauling at Ericsson Park.

The introduction of Lion Ronan O’Gara kickstarted Munster’s charge to an easy victory over Connacht in tonight’s Celtic League match at Thomond Park.
