Munster hold firm to beat Yorkshire Carnegie in battle of Kinsale

Munster A 14 Yorkshire Carnegie 9 (B&I Cup): Munster A got back to winning ways as they deservedly got the better of English Championship side Yorkshire Carnegie at Snugmore, Kinsale, last night.

Munster sometimes had to dig deep in a pulsating second half, during which the English team enjoyed a decent territorial advantage, but the home side produced an exceptionally dogged defensive display and overcame the loss of players twice to yellow cards.

In the end, Munster deserved their win, and are back in the hunt after picking up a losing bonus point at London Scottish last week.
