The ‘Well showed spirit and guts on top of opportunism to earn a victory that was surprising based on where the game was played, but rugby is often about taking chances and the winners certainly did that.

The outcome means both these Cork clubs, Sunday’s Well with the win and Highfield with a losing bonus point, joined leaders City of Derry on 56 points but the Ulster club remain top on points differential and have a game in hand today.
