Cork Con 21, Shannon 13 (full-time)

Cork Constitution joined Shannon in fourth place in the AIB League First Division following a well-deserved victory over their great Munster rivals at Temple Hill.

Tom Cregan kicked two penalties for Shannon.

In the second half Derek Hegarty crossed for a Shannon try, converted by Cregan to make it 14-13 - only for Conor Mahony to claim Con's second try which he also converted.
