Munsters set up Con showdown

A SECOND-HALF comeback that embraced typical passion and skill helped Young Munster overcome arch rivals Garryowen on Saturday and set up an Ulster Bank League semi-final meeting with holders Cork Constitution.

They were 12 points down at the interval in Clifford Park but produced their best in a seven-minute spell early in the second half to turn the tables and — with a little help from Old Belvedere elsewhere — secured a place in the knock-out stages.

The joy was clearly evident at the end of a pulsating contest, with Garryowen going in search of an equalising try and Young Munster equally determined not to yield anything.
