All-Ireland League champions Clontarf picked up a 17-3 win away to Cork Constitution at Temple Hill on Saturday, a repeat of last season’s decider. Fionn Gilbert’s brace, one in each half, proved the catalyst. Conor Kelly added two conversions and a penalty, while Con’s sole reply came from an Aidan Moynihan penalty deep in the first half.

UCD climbed out of the drop zone with a 34-12 bonus-point win over Young Munster in Belfield. A quickfire Evan Moynihan double before halftime set the tone, and second-half tries from Michael O’Reilly, Dan Barron, and Daniel Hurley pushed the Students comfortably clear.
