Walsh shrugs off title talk as Con hit season high

UCD coach Killian Keane conceded AIB League defeat to Constitution long before the finish of this tie at Temple Hill on Saturday, and then boldly predicted that the Cork side would win the title.

That declaration was taken with a grain of salt by counterpart Brian Walsh, who helped bring the club to the final last year — only to suffer agony at the final hurdle. But Walsh admitted it was the best performance of the season by the hosts.

“It was the best on two counts, because of the score line and the brand of rugby the guys played,” he said.
