Munster Juniors Lose To Ulster

Munster were unlucky to lose to Ulster 26-24 at Limavady in their second game in the Junior Interprovincial Championship.

Munster lost their second game in this season’s Junior Inter Provincial Championship when Ulster defeated them 26-24 at Limavady.

Like last week against Leinster, Munster made a poor opening to this contest and found themselves trailing 21-14 at half time.

Munster dominated the second half and should have won the game as they missed some kickable penalty chances in the final few minutes and also a drop goal effort.

Brian O’Sullivan scored two tries and his brother Dermot one. Dara Meade kicked two conversions and a penalty and Ollie McGlinchey also added a conversion.
