Munster lose grip on cup
A disappointing Munster team were well beaten by Llanelli Scarlets in their quarter final at Stradey park last night. The reigning champions were always well behind, trailing at half time by 17 points to nil. Some bit of pride was restored in the second half but the Welsh team ran out deserving winners on a 24 points to 15 scoreline. Save for the Magners league Munsters season is effectively now over but hopefully the financial foundations for the future are being laid. The announcement of the addidas kit deal has been enhanced by the extension of the title sponsorship deal with Toyota. The continued partnership between Munster Rugby and Ireland’s leading motor distributors will also include the Munster senior and under 20 sides and equals a € 5 million sponsorship investment by Toyota between 2007 and 2010. And with the diggers currently huffing and puffing and knocking Thomond Park, the future of Munster rugby seems to look good. A few signings will be required and hopefully Munster will have the means to get the quality required.
Limerick 37 have an away game this weekend in the eircom league first division and play the Wexford youths in Wexford on Sunday, we wish them the best of luck.
