Conor Mulvihill's stoppage-time conversion in the eight minute of injury time broke Glenstal hearts having been nine points ahead as late as the 65th minute. 

A Mulvihill penalty put CBC within range and with the clock showing 77 minutes and a man advantage, Tom Kelly touched down at the back of the Christians maul, Mulvihill converted giving the Cork side a dramatic 29-28 win. 

Photographer Denis Hooper was on hand to capture all of the colour and excitement from the clash.
