Teams News | Munster Junior Side Names For Final Interpro Clash

The Munster team has been named for the final round of the Junior Interprovincial Championship.

The team will take on last year’s champions Ulster in Dromore RFC.

A dramatic last minute converted try saw Leinster snatch a 26-23 bonus point victory over the side at Ballinakill (Waterpark RFC) last weekend.

Two penalties from Shane Airey and a conversion of a try by Old Christians Laszio Rabatin (Old Christians) to brought the lead to 13-0 early on but approaching half time Leinster got over the Munster line twice to trail 13-12 at half time.

A try by skipper Kevin Kinane which Airey converted five minutes into the second half put Munster 20-12 ahead.

A third try closed the gap to a point, but an Airey penalty made it 14-19 in favour of the home side, but then came that late winner for the visitors.
