Cork Con put crowning touch to their season

Clontarf 21 Cork Constitution 25: Some finals are remembered for great scores or controversial moments. Some not at all. Others live on through the memories of standout individual performances and it is for a number of those efforts that this Ulster Bank Division 1A final will stand the test of time.

So often ignored, at times even undermined, the AIL has proven to be a fertile breeding ground for talent capable of making the step up to the professional ranks. One such candidate could be Con’s Tomás Quinlan.

The out-half kicked all seven of his pots on goal at the Aviva - six penalties and a conversion - and came away with man-of-the-match honours as well as the medal that is his due after the Cork club edged their Dublin opponents to claim a fifth AIL title.
