The Tyrone men were kept scoreless as Shannon gave Thomond Park a fitting send-off in their last outing at the Limerick ground before its redevelopment.

A lovely chip and chase try by out-half Thompson, 29 minutes in, saw Shannon take a 13-0 lead into the second half.

Three more tries followed - hooker Sean Cronin barged over for his sixth of the league run, he then teed up skipper Colm McMahon and winger Andrew Finn also crossed in injury-time.

Scorers: Shannon: Tries: Andrew Thompson, Sean Cronin, Colm McMahon, Andrew Finn; Con: Thompson; Pens: Thompson 3
