Big Shocks in Limerick Charity Cup

Holders Shannon made a shock exit from this season’s competition as a last minute penalty gave Young Munster an 8-7 victory.

There were major shocks in the opening games in the Limerick Charity Cup with both of last season’s finalists Shannon and Garryowen being defeated.

Nenagh Ormond making thier senior debut, lost at home to Thomond 17-3 and Bruff had a big 35-16 win over a disappointing Old Crescent side.
