Cork Con and Young Munster to do battle once again in Munster Junior Cup final

It will be a Young Munster-Cork Constitution Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup final next week after Con earned a 30-24 extra-time victory over Richmond in their semi-final yesterday.

Richmond opened the scoring with a penalty from Brían Bennett but indiscipline that saw two of their players yellow-carded resulted in two tries for Con from Evan Mintern and Jason Higgins. John Poland converted both.

Two Bennett penalties left it 14-9 at the interval. A Bennett penalty and a try by Dean O’Halloran saw Richmond regain the lead at 17-14 only for Poland to level with a penalty.
