Western pride as listless Munster fail to score from play

Connacht 1-15 Munster 0-9

Their first title success in five years was facilitated by the poorness of the challenge from Munster, who failed to live up to their potential and, ignominiously, couldn't even produce a single score from play.

The outcome was as good as decided when dual star Alan Kerins set up David Donoghue for the game's only goal seven minutes into the second half.
