WATCH: Young Munster's Gearóid Prendergast reflects on 'toughest day' of coaching career

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.
