Defending champions beat Lansdowne at Lakelands while Cork Con work past Clontarf at home
Lansdowne fought back brilliantly from 19 points down at a sunny Lakelands Park, drawing level thanks to tries from Cathal Eddy, lively replacement James Kenny, and current Ireland Under-20 international Hugo McLaughlin.
Craig Adams and Jordan Coghlan had both crossed before that, with the former’s try a tremendous, lung-busting effort - involving Adam La Grue and Conor Phillips - that began back at a lineout inside their own half. However, with Terenure having to deal with two second half yellow cards and the teams locked at 25 points apiece, this semi-final turned into a kicking duel between Egan and Stephen Madigan.
Con won 40-34 at home to last season’s runners-up Clontarf, with the talismanic James Taylor kicking 17 points and flying winger Matthew Bowen slicing through for his 14th try of the campaign. A three-try first half salvo gave Jonny Holland’s men a 27-17 half-time lead. Former captain Niall Kenneally was able to add to those touchdowns from John Forde, Ronan O’Sullivan, and the electric Bowen.
