Top flight leaders Clonmel were leading Kilfeacle 20-3 with eight minutes remaining, when referee Enda O’Shea had to retire with a leg injury, but under the rules, the result will stand.

Shane Looby gave Kilfeacle the lead with a penalty but tries from Jack Oostuysen, Mark Corby and Luke Hogan and a conversion and penalty by Conor Cooney earned Clonmel the points.
