Thrilling finish looks on

THE scene is set for a grandstand climax to the AIB League as high rollers Cork Constitution, St. Mary’s, Shannon, Dolphin as well as Garryowen and Blackrock continue to slug it out over three more weekends.

Three will advance to the semi-finals, with Old Belvedere and Young Munster set to fight for the fourth spot after both won on Saturday to secure their promotion from Division 1B.

Old Belvedere beat Dungannon 22-17 at Stevenson Park and Young Munster secured their spot in the top division with a 14-12 win over UCC at the Mardyke despite College outscoring the visitors by two tries to one with efforts from centre Andrew Burke and winger Willie Walsh.
