With the Division One tie between Dublin University and Cork Constitution called off due to an unplayable pitch for the second time, the focus switched to the four games in the lower divisions.
Mike Tewkesbury’s Bohs picked up a much-needed second win in four 2005 outing so far, as Martin converted centre Coleman Finn’s try at Thomond Park.
Munster centre Jason Holland and back row Kevin Brierly touched down for the visitors, but it proved not enough to stave off a seventh loss of the season for the Cork men.
