Cork Constitution: Route To The #EnergiaAIL Final

Jonny Holland’s charges, captained by dynamic number 8 David Hyland, recorded a dozen wins during the regular season, which they finished strongly and kept up the momentum last week with a hard-fought 16-8 semi-final triumph away to St. Mary’s College.

Classy out-half James Taylor, last year’s player-of-the-match in the final, will relish a return to the Aviva Stadium. He has led the scoring for Cork Con again this season with 129 points, and Sean French and Matthew Bowen have contributed eight tries each.

The home of Irish Rugby will be awash with club colours on Sunday for the Energia All-Ireland League Men’s and Women’s finals double header. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketmaster.ie.
