Munster Senior Cup: Quinlan comes to Cork Con’s rescue

Cork Constitution advanced from a tough Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Cup tie against Shannon with a late rally at Coonagh on Saturday.

The reward for grabbing a 20-12 victory over their hosts is a quarter-final against another AIL Division 1B side, UCC, at the Mardyke.

Tomás Quinlan was the Con hero coming off the bench to score a penalty, a try and a conversion in the last ten minutes to give the Temple Hill side victory. Shannon who led 9-3 at half time had four penalties from Conor Fitzgerald. Vincent O’Brien was Con’s other try scorer and Aidan Moynihan kicked a conversion and a penalty.
