Keep an eye out before the game and you will see that some of our staff are a little younger than usual. This is due to the MRSC’s ‘Junior Member Job For A Day Competition’ where we have offered our younger members the chance to work with Munster Rugby on a match day.

We look forward to welcoming the U11 teams from Bantry Bay and Highfield when they take to the field at half time, kindly supported by Marks & Spencer.

While players and management catch a breather and prepare for the second half, three lucky participants will take to the pitch to attempt our Crossbar Challenge. Kicking from hand, they will attempt to hit the crossbar from the 22m line. Each participant will be given just one chance and if they hit the crossbar will receive a €;250 One4All voucher, kindly sponsored by KEARYS RENAULT.

The winning Captain will be presented with the Jack Wakefield Trophy after the game with the presentation made by a member of the Munster Rugby Supporters Club Committee.

As you leave the grounds after the game, why not pick up your free Irish Independent newspaper and gift, kindly offered by stadium sponsor, the Irish Independent.
