UL take points and bragging rights in eight-try thriller

UL Bohemians 42 Young Munster 3

UL/Bohs have been there or thereabouts over the past few years in an all-out bid to establish themselves as a Division One side and they’re certainly going in the right direction. Yesterday’s five-pointer moves them within four of joint pacesetters UCC, St Marys and Dolphin, and with at least one game in hand on all three.

Meanwhile, Young Munster, with only Highfield beneath them at the foot of the table, are doubtless shattered at putting 31 points on the would-be champions, but still left without even the consolation of a bonus point. UL/Bohs have discovered a match winner in their Aussie out-half Ben Martin and they needed him on the top of his form, as Munsters recovered from a slow start to jump into a 17-10 lead after 25 minutes.
