YOUNG MUNSTER ran up 17 points in a devastating 10-minute spell coming up to half-time in this thrilling Munster Senior Cup semi-final at Thomond Park.

However, Sunday's Well, who trailed 3-23 at the break, began the second half in magnificent fashion with two converted tries to reduce the margin to six points. But James Carey and Noel O'Meara hit back with Young Munster tries.
