Sean Duggan the hero as gritty Young Munster edge Cork Con

Cork Constitution 17 Young Munster 18: Young Munster jumped into fourth place in the Ulster Bank League with a late try against old rivals Cork Constitution at Temple Hill on Saturday.

As in the first game at Clifford Park in November (11-10), Young Munster snatched victory from the jaws of defeat, and it sparked off tremendous celebration from their small group of enthusiastic supporters.

As much as for scoring hero Sean Duggan and the team, it was a day of triumph for former Con stalwart David Corkery, who returned to his old club as Young Munster coach. For a long time it looked as if he would be disappointed, but his side’s dogged persistence eventually reaped a handsome reward.
