Gritty Munsters grind it out

Cork Constitution 6 Young Munster 9

The Limerick side had failed to collect so much as a losing bonus point away from Tom Clifford Park in the past 10 months, while their last road trip ended in a 42-0 hammering, which goes some way to explain why Young Munster were the ones to grit out the win as tough conditions made it a battle of wills on Saturday.

Although Con dominated much of the opening period, it was the visitors, via a reformed scrum, who won the crucial penalty for the only score in the final hour.
