In Division 1A of the All-Ireland League, Cork Constitution prevailed 19-18 in a Munster derby classic against Young Munster at Temple Hill, a match that behaved like a seismograph. 

Young Munster led for long spells, but Con’s resilience paid off late, Johnny Murphy’s try on 79 minutes flipping the result before Dylan Hicks’ conversion nudged the door shut.
