Seventh heaven for Young Munster

YOUNG MUNSTER turned the clock back two decades with a stirring ODM Munster Senior Cup triumph over gallant University College Cork at sunny Musgrave Park on Saturday.

Short of silverware, and so often the bridesmaids in this competition, Young Munster’s legion of loyal fans celebrated this seventh title with gusto at the end of an intense and entertaining match.

The students were right in the contest until the 74th minute when a converted try all but confirmed the victory for the Limerick side; it was a game remarkably similar to the two AIB League games played between the teams this season when Young Munster carved out two narrow victories.
