Shannon produced a 41–35 win in what was an intensely physical contest between two determined sides.
Tries from Cian McCann (26'), Harry Long (37'), Cian O'Halloran (40+5') and Robbie O'Donnell (66', 73') laid the foundations for the hosts who were in high-scoring form.
Oisín Hade was in superb form from the tee notching five conversions (26', 37', 40+5', 67', 73') and two penalties (3', 19').
Photgrapher Dermot Lynch was on hand to capture all of the colour and excitement from the Division 2A clash.
