Munster A rounded off the Celtic Cup campaign with a bonus-point 31-12 victory over Ulster in Belfast on Friday evening.

Jack O’Sullivan, Cian Hurley, Alex McHenry and Seán French all touched down in the win as Ben Healy kicked two conversions and a penalty with replacement Jack Crowley also on target with two conversions.

David McCann and Graham Curtis were the Ulster try-scorers and, despite the defeat, the northern province advanced to the final.

Prop Brian Scott made a welcome return from injury in the clash with fellow senior player Craig Casey also starting the clash.

Nince Academy players featured, including captain Healy, with UCC’s Daniel O’Connor making his first appearance at Celtic Cup level.
