AIL round-up: Deja vu for Clontarf and Terenure

Clontarf and Terenure College will meet in a repeat of last year's Energia All-Ireland League Division 1A final when this season's title race is decided at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, 7 May.

The Dublin rivals, the top two finishers in the table, won through to the decider in contrasting style, with reigning champions Clontarf edging out Young Munster 13-12 in a tense tussle at Castle Avenue.

Jonny Holland's men were unable to convert some late pressure into points before half-time, but replacement James Murphy barged over in the 49th minute - followed by an Aidan Moynihan conversion - to reduce the arrears to 18-7.

His reliable right boot banged over two more penalties to leave 17 points in it with 13 minutes remaining.

Con did rally again with a Cathal O'Flaherty try in the corner, but a late brace of Dooley kicks - the last one from far out - ensured Sean Skehan's side got the job done in clinical fashion.
