Young Munster Secure Limerick Charity Cup

Young Munster, now led by director of rugby Mike Prendergast, are hoping to make their mark on AIB League Division 1B when it gets underway next weekend

A penalty, three minutes from the end, by Alan Kingsley gave Young Munster their first Limerick Charity Cup final win for 13 years. They beat a more fancied UL Bohemians side 11-10 in Saturday's decider at Thomond Park.
A well-taken try by Martin McPhail, converted by Ed Torrie, put UL ahead.
But a try by recent signing Aaron Carroll put Young Munster back in contention and Kingsley landed the crucial late penalty to give the Cookies a big boost ahead of their AIB League Division 1B opener at home to Buccaneers next Saturday.
Mike Prendergast's side also notably beat Bruff and Shannon on the way to the Limerick Charity Cup decider.
