Munster Under 20’s Warm Up Continues

The Munster U20 side were narrowly defeated 19-13 yesterday against Clermont at the Stade Denis Sugères in France.

A try from Tralee speedster Eoin O’Carroll, converted by academy out-half Gearoid Lyons, who also added a successful shot at goal, brought the score to 10 a-piece at the break.

The second half saw a successful penalty kick from Munster replacement sub-academy player Tomás Quinlan, however it wasn't enough to secure a win.

Munster will take on Leicester on Friday, 29th August in France ahead of their opening interprovincial fixture which begins the following week away to Leinster.

Munster v Clermont: Robbie Deegan; Eoin O’Carroll, Shane McAuliffe, Paul Kiernan (Capt.), Will Leonard; Gearoid Lyons, Jack Cullen; Liam O’Connor, Luke O’Halloran, Liam McMahon; Frank B Ryan, Aaron Hogan, Conor Barry, Luke O’Leary, Dave St. Ledger.
