Rescheduled Women’s Interprovincial Final

The Munster Women, sponsored by Keane’s Jewellers, take on their Leinster counterparts this weekend in the final fixture of the Women’s Interprovincial series for 2010-2011.

Both Munster and Leinster have recorded victories over Connacht and Ulster and Saturday’s final game is sure to be a great contest and highly competitive as previous clashes have always proved at this level.

Munster have a tough battle on their hands in Donnybrook if they hope to claim their fifth Interprovincial title in a row but it is one that John O’Sullivan’s charges look forward to.

The side will once again be led by UL Bohemians and Irish International stalwart Joy Neville. The number eight and eleven of her Munster colleagues will then go on to the Ireland December training camp on Sunday in preparation for the upcoming Women’s Six Nations.

All support is welcome in Donnybrook on Saturday at 1pm, with free admission.
