The Celtic Cup Kicks Off On Friday
5th September 2018 By The Editor
Munster A’s inaugural Celtic Cup campaign kicks off on Friday with Connacht A visiting Irish Independent Park for a 5.30pm kick-off.
Head Coach Peter Malone will be naming his side for the clash tomorrow as Munster look to make a winning start to the new tournament.
The Celtic Cup features development squads from Munster, Connacht, Leinster, Ulster, Blues, Dragons, Scarlets and the Ospreys.
The aim is to provide a learning environment for players, coaches and referees by recreating the week-to-week challenges presented by senior professional rugby. The competition will run over seven consecutive weeks.
All three of Munster’s home games will be played on the new modified 3G surface at Irish Independent Park
