County Carlow 14 Cork Constitution 16

At Oak Park, Carlow on Saturday the AIB league leaders had to contend with a mighty effort from the home side and the expertise of assistant coach Michael Galwey, but they still came out on top.

Former captain Ultan O'Callaghan can take some of the credit for his late try but scrum half Pat McCarthy was the one who kept his nerve most to steer his side to a fortuitous victory.
