Nice to see us win the under 20s again, although didn't think it'd be so close ...

An injury time try from Michael Noone helped Leinster retain the Under-20 Interprovincial championship by defeating Connacht 17-10 in the Sportsground on Friday evening...
The Under-20s, sponsored by Lisney, came into Friday evening’s game in Galway on the back of victories over Ulster (27-16) and Munster (16-3) and began strongly.

Ian Madigan kicked the visitors into a 3-0 lead with a penalty in the fourth minute before Liam Carpenter powered over to score for the hosts.

Connacht held the 5-3 advantage until the interval and moved further ahead with a try from centre Eoin Griffin. It was the kick-start Leinster needed and on 55 minutes Dominic Ryan crashed over, with Madigan converting, to level the scores.

A spell of pressure ensued and in the closing minutes Leinster finally got the reward their efforts deserved when Noone touched down, with Madigan again adding the points, to seal a famous win.

LEINSTER UNDER-20:

Ian Madigan, David Kearney (Rob Johnson, 52), Eamonn Sheridan, Shane Gahan (Gary Foley, 67), Michael Keating, Ian McKinley, Matt Healy (John Cooney 15-25 blood); Jack McGrath, Tom Sexton (Andrew Pollard, 25-35 blood), Jack O'Connell (Ronan Donnelly, 70), Shane Grennell, Mark Flanagan, Steve Mahony CAPTAIN, Dominic Ryan (Eoin Cremen, 55), Michael Noone (Alex Byrne, 82)
