Martin Coppinger is Munster Senior Champion after powering clear of Brian Wilmot in the second half at the Marsh Road.

Wilmot needed to be in the zone to truly challenge for the title. As it transpired Coppinger presented him with opportunities, but he just didn’t have the spark on the day to capitalise.
