Munsters snatch thrilling victory

Young Munster sensationally recovered from arrears of 20-3 after 32 minutes to snatch a dramatic Ulster Bank League victory over Shannon with a converted try in the 80th minute at Thomond Park last night.

Munsters’ challenge for the title remains very much alive after an absorbing Limerick derby that saw Shannon finish with two players in the bin and still stuck very close to the bottom of the table.

It was also a good night for Munster as Felix Jones played his first competitive game in almost six months at full-back for Shannon and completed the 80 minutes. Johne Murphy and Ian Keatley made their first appearances in the competition for Munsters and also came through unscathed.
