A day of shocks in the Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup as Cahel knocked out the holders Shannon and both Waterford City and Dungarvan advance after extra time.

Holders Shannon were sensationally knocked out of the Bank of Ireland Munster Junior Cup, when Cashel came from behind in the last minute with a converted try to defeat them 13-10.

Tom Keith scored the game’s first try and Stephen Phelan also scored a try for Dungarvan. David Hickey converted both and also kicked two penalties. Luke Deane and Ger White replied with tries for Midleton and Deane added two conversions and two penalties.
