YOUNG MUNSTER 17 TERENURE COLLEGE 28, Tom Clifford Park
Flanker Harrison Brewer was Terenure's late hero as his try sealed a vital 28-17 bonus point victory for them away to high-flying Young Munster on Saturday.
Second-placed Munsters suffered a rare defeat at Greenfields as the 21-year-old Brewer struck in the very final play of this absorbing top flight clash.
It looked like the Cookies would continue their rich vein of firm when teenage out-half Alan Tynan crossed for a second minute try from an interception, however 'Nure centre Robbie Murphy responded within six minutes.
The visitors' hard-working captain Kyle McCoy, who played in the second row, added their second try to cancel out a Tynan penalty, and a well-struck three-pointer from Mark O'Neill had the Dubliners 13-10 ahead at half-time.
The gap was out to 10 points after McCoy's fellow lock Mike Murphy reached over just two minutes after the restart. Munsters made a real fight of it with their ever impressive pack earning a penalty try from a maul which Tynan converted for 20-17.
However, James Blaney's men have got used to winning games of late and they should great composure in the closing stages with out-half O'Neill coolly landing another penalty and Brewer touching down right at the death.
