Leinster retained the Interprovincial Championship in dramatic fashion at Fota

Although held to a tied match by Ulster, they enjoyed the better overall record through the three days, leaving a delighted captain Seamus McParland to pay special tribute to the exploits of youngsters Jonathan Yates, Colm Purcell, and Kevin LeBlanc.
Meanwhile, Connacht recovered from a foursomes deficit against Munster to win five of the seven afternoon singles and claim third place on a 6½-4½ scoreline.
