Weekend Roundup | Cork Con Retain Cork Charity Cup

Cork Constitution retain Cork Charity Cup and Midleton cause upset in the Cork Charity Shield Final.

Cork Constitution made it four wins in a row when they won the Cork Charity Cup with a convincing 39-7 win over U.C.C. at Irish Independent Park.

It was a powerful display by the Con’ pack that laid the foundation for this victory with four of their five tries being scored by their forwards.

Despite being on the back foot for long periods U.C.C. fought till the end and when they did have ball in hand they always looked dangerous.

Tries from Vincent O’Brien and Dylan Murphy and a conversion and a penalty by Aidan Moynihan had Con’ 15-0 ahead approaching the break, when Travis Coomey touched down for the students and James Taylor converted.

Second half tries from Cathal O’Flaherty, Evan Mintern and Rob Jermyn along with three conversions and a penalty by Moynihan saw Con’ win their 45^th title.

Midleton caused a big upset in the Cork Charity Shield Final when they defeated holders Cashel 19-15 at Irish Independent Park.

Daniel Murray, Martijn Korterik and Rian Hogan scored tries for Midleton and Stuart Lee added two conversions. James Kendrick and Aidan O’Connor replied with tries for Cashel. Jonny Roe converted one of the tries and Tyan O’Sullivan added a penalty.

Garryowen are back in the Sporting Limerick Charity Cup Final after their 25-5 away win at Bruff. Peadar Collins, Paul Clancy, Daniel Hurley and Andrew Keating scored tries for the Dooradoyle side and Collins kicked a conversion and a penalty.

The other semi-final between Young Munster and holders Nenagh Ormond was postponed.

In the Transfield Cup holders Newcastle West began their defence with a 27-20 win over Young Munster at Tom Clifford Park.
