Cork Con too strong for battling Highfield

Cork Constitution 31 Highfield 15: Highfield battled hard but just didn’t have enough overall class to see their way past holders Cork Constitution in an entertaining Munster Senior Cup semi-final clash at Temple Hill last night.

There was plenty of excitement and some encouragement also for Highfield, essentially a third division outfit against a side challenging for first division honours. In the end, though, they just didn’t have enough to push the champions over the edge.

Highfield started brightly but then had to give way to a period of total dominance from the home side, based largely on a vastly superior scrum.
