Avonmore Milk Munster Under 19 & 17 League Finals.

The highlight of the Munster Youth season takes place at Thomond Park this weekend with the playing of the Avonmore Milk Munster Under 19 and 17 finals.

Waterpark who contested both finals last year are again both finals this season.

These competitions began last October when sides were divided on a regional basis into four groups and the top sides qualified for a second phase from which the top two sides in each section qualified for the Quarter finals.

The knock out stages of both competitions were keenly contested and in some cases “rules of the day” had to be applied to decide the winners as there were no free weekends to have replays.

The Under 17 Final which kicks off at 2.00. is between Shannon and Waterpark. The squads for the game are:-
Shannon: Craig Power; Patrick Murphy, Ronan Hunt, Shane Houlihan, Ryan Tsang; James Clancy, Alan Casey; Tom Cusack, Kevin Dillon, Ronan McKenna; Mike Foley, Liam Cronin; Tim Sheahan, Patrick Kearns (Capt), Conor Glynn, Robert Whyte, Evan Tierney, Coarie O’Keeffe, Edward Timmins, Danny O’Shaughnessy, Andrew Cusack, Scott Cusack, Conor Burns.
