HT: Munster 12 - 21 Ulster
Munster were first to strike once again in the second half as they barrelled a maul over in the 39th minute with Charlie O’Shea adding the extras, closing the gap to 19-21.
Daniel Green gave Ulster a bit of breathing space, sending a penalty through the posts in the 49th minute, however moments later, Munster’s Charlie O’Shea broke the Ulster defensive line and crashed over the whitewash, pushing the hosts into the lead by two single points, 26-24.
Daniel Green was the man of the moment, with a penalty followed by a drop goal in the 61st minute, saw Ulster through as the winners, with the final score reading, 26-30.
Overall Munster played a strong running tactic moving the ball out wide, but Ulster were more threatening in the maul and in making sure we came away with points once in the Munster 22.
Daniel Green had a fantastic game with his kicking skills and how he managed the game. Special mentions go to Rio McDonagh, Callum McKinney, James Clark and Jake Scott for their work around the pitch and sheer effort. The lads had a really hard-fought game, and should all be proud walking away with the win.
Player of the Match was awarded to Daniel Green and Callum McKinney.
