Young Munster suffer third loss in a row

Young Munster 16 Dungannon 17

Young Munster fell to their third successive AIB League defeat as Dungannon came from behind at Tom Clifford Park.

Two tries from centre Chris Cochrane got Dungannon into a winning position and John McGuckin's touchline conversion of the second touchdown proved crucial.

That kick put 'Gannon 17-16 ahead but there was further drama when Young Munster's Matthew Costelloe missed an injury-time penalty.

Three penalties from Costello had the Cookies 9-7 ahead at half-time but despite a Darragh Payne try, they ran out of gas.
