Young Munster took on Clonmel in the Boys U16 Development Cup final at Thomond Park last weekend.

Tipperary side Clonmel took an early 14-0 score line with two well worked tries. However, a resilient Young Munster side came back into the game with some excellent line breaks by Dylan Kerley and James Moynihan.

Munsters' hit back with their opening try, following a great steal from Cillian McGrath. The Limerick side's pack mauled under the posts and Scott Allan touched down for a well-executed try. Jack Kiely added the extras for 14-7.

There were just two points between the sides at half-time as Clonmel led 12-10.

Clonmel tightened their grip on the final, scoring two tries at the start of the second half. However, a gritty Young Munster side fought bravely and their endeavour saw Mark O'Riordan make a great break down field only for a last ditch tackle from the Clonmel full back, Munsters' would be right back in the game.

Clonmel won the game when adding a further try to seal a 32-10 success.
