Mighty Moran’s goal ensures Boston party for Munster
For the first three quarters there was little more than polite reaction from the packed bleachers, respectful applause for quick-fire Munster as they raced into an 0-4 to nil lead, scattered appreciation of the Leinster comeback. By the last 10 minutes they were into it, however, and things were really humming as a top-class contest reached an exciting climax. Points from Tommy Walsh, Brennan and Carroll, along with a fine long-range free from wing-forward James Young (Laois, gave Munster captain John Gardiner real problems), brought them within two of Munster by the 12th minute.
Two minutes later, they had their first major, Eddie Brennan on the end of a long ball from Young giving Davy Fitzgerald no chance and the men from the east led 1-4 to 0-6.
