WATCH: AIL 1A victories for Young Munster and Garryowen

It was a positive weekend for Limerick’s All-Ireland League teams with Young Munster and Garryowen both victorious.

Luke Fitzgerald got the game’s only try in the second half and Evan Cusack slotted a superb touchline conversion to seal the victory.

Garryowen remain in the playoff places following a 13-10 home win over Clontarf. The Light Blues were 10-6 down at the break, but a penalty try saw them to a vital win.

In Division 1B, Shannon fell to a 16-14 defeat in Naas. Conor Glynn and Pa Ryan crossed for Shannon and it looked like an away victory was theirs, only for Naas to score a converted try deep into added time.

UL Bohemian remain in ninth place in Division 2A after earning a bonus point in their 20-15 loss to Buccaneers. Old Crescent stay 5th after a 32-10 defeat to Rainey Old Boys.
