YOUNG Munster's hopes of securing a first Bateman Cup title since 1928 were ended in a heavy 46-13 final defeat to Lansdowne at Musgrave Park on Saturday.
After racing into an early 6-0 lead, Munster Senior Cup champions Young Munster, who trailed 6-12 at half-time, went on to concede 46 unanswered points as the clinical Dubliners racked up seven tries in an impressive win.
It was a disappointing defeat for Munsters' who were cheered on by the lions-share of the supporters at the Cork venue and who had beaten Lansdowne in Division 1A of the Energia All-Ireland League at the Aviva Stadium earlier in the season.
Following Saturday's final, Leader Sport caught up with Young Munster head coach Gearoid Prendergast to review the big game.
