Sunday's Well welcome Bruff to Irish Independent Park on Saturday

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.

All three of Munster’s home games will be played on the new modified 3G surface at Irish Independent Park
