Munster U20’s Win in Thomond Park

The Munster U20 team scraped a narrow 3-0 win over Ulster in Thomond Park on Friday night.

Conor Murray’s second half penalty proved the difference between the two sides in what was a lively affair, hampered perhaps by a number of necessary stoppages due to injuries sustained. 

As the first game to take place in the newly reopened Thomond Park, Munster fans got a sneak preview of the stadium.
