2011-12 Season
It proved to be a memorable season for the Munster Junior team - in early September they accepted an invitation to travel to Spain to engage the Unio Esportiva Santboiana Club who were celebrating their anniversary, although beaten the trip proved to be a worthwhile exercise. The opening series of games in the interprovincial championship saw the squad travel to Edenderry RFC to take on Leinster - this being the centenary season of the first ever meeting of the provinces at this level and following a fine contest the laurels were won. Victory over Ulster at Kanturk set up a championship decider with Connacht at Castleisland, despite having dominated the exchanges for long periods and leading on the scoreboard entering the closing quarter they lost the initiative when the visitors took the lead with an intercept try and the Connacht men subsequently held out for victory to retain their title. Stephen O'Sullivan (Tralee) led the side from the number 8 position, while the coaching duties were in the capable hands of John O'Neill.2008-09 Season
A disappointing season for the junior team - a try conceded well in to injury time denied the side victory against the eventual champions Leinster. The game against Ulster saw the side build up an early lead, but they faded in the second half and they eventually ended up at the wrong end of a 9-20 score line.
While the loss to Connacht saw Munster suffer their first white wash at this level since 1987. Kevin O'Dwyer was once again in charge of coaching, and he was assisted by John Lillis and Martin Brislane, while Ger Luby (Kilfeacle & District) led the side throughout the campaign.
