Walsh hails hero Holland

Garryowen 18 Cork Constitution 21

Con remain fourth, nine points behind leaders Lansdowne, but with their morale considerably boosted by this extremely hard earned win. For Garryowen, league leaders at Christmas, it was their second home defeat in a week and leaves them seven off the pace.

Holland landed five of his penalties in the first half after which Con led 15-10 and two more on the turnover including the decisive kick in the 68th minute. It proved all-important as they held on for dear life with centre Robert Clune in the sin-bin.
