Faherty grabs decisive try as courageous Connacht retain title

Connacht retained their Junior Rugby Interprovincial title with a magnificent performance at Castleisland to deny the hosts the trophy.

The western province came to the Kerry venue trailing Munster by a point and had to win to claim the crown.

Munster dominated the opening half but the sides were level (6-6) at the break with Munster’s full back Ben Martin and his opposite number Robert O’Beirn kicking two penalties each.
