Match Report:

Highfield prevailed over Cork Constitution in the Seconds League by two points in a well-contested fixture on Sunday afternoon at Model Farm Road. 

Constitution led at the half-time interval by a single penalty kicked by Niall Finn; and he doubled the advantage early in the second period for 6-0. Highfield scored an unconverted try by No.8 Lynch on the hour mark for 5-6, but within minutes Constitution scored when Gordon Bradley finished from a 50 metre phase for 5-11.

The play became somewhat frantic in the final quarter, with yellow cards dispensed on both sides. However, Highfield had the final say on the scoreboard, with a try by Sam Burns, and a late penalty by Steve Atkinson for a narrow victory.
