After the climax of the Men’s Six Nations last week, it’s time for Irish rugby’s next generation to showcase what they’ve got.
This week, the Pinergy Munster Schools Cup finals will be exclusively live streamed for Irish Examiner subscribers.
First, on Wednesday, March 19, St Anne’s CC of Killaloe will face Sacred Heart Clonakilty in the Munster Schools Girls Senior Cup (kick-off 2pm).
Commentator Ger McCarthy will call the action from Virgin Media Park, alongside analyst and Irish rugby legend, Fiona Hayes.
Twenty four hours later at the same venue, old rivals Christian Brothers Cork and Presentation Brothers Cork will add another chapter to their long, shared history in the Munster Schools Boys Senior Cup (Thursday, kick-off 2pm).
As well as the Garrett Fitzgerald Cup, history is on the line. PBC are aiming to make it a three-in-a-row while their victory over Christians last year moved them to 32-31 in the overall roll of honour.
columnist Donal Lenihan will be joined by commentator Darragh Frawley on the Tramore Road for a mouth-watering match-up.
Speaking ahead of the finals, Pinergy CEO Enda Gunnell remarked: “We are eagerly anticipating this year’s Pinergy Munster Schools Senior Cup finals, with the two title deciders in the boys’ and girls’ competitions. This season has once again delivered excitement, skill, and drama, a testament to the dedication and hard work across the province, providing players with opportunities to shine in both codes in Munster Rugby’s most coveted schools competitions."
