Munster In The Community

In supporting a host of club, school, charity and community initiatives, Munster players and staff have visited venues across the province in recent weeks to lend their support.

Here is but a sample of their recent visits.

Scott and Zebo Attend School Blitz

Brian Scott and Simon Zebo recently attended a primary school blitz in Wilton, Cork, with over 400 boys and girls from 16 schools participating in the event.

The blitz was organised by Munster Community Rugby Officer Eugene McCarthy with the TY students of Presentation Brothers College and Christian Brothers College coaching and refereeing school teams, supported by Munster Development Department staff.

Head Coach Johann van Graan and captain Peter O’Mahony presented legendary broadcaster Len Dineen with a signed jersey as he retired from matchday broadcasting.

Nice touch from @Munsterrugby today to mark end of Len Dinneen’s stellar career as sports broadcaster spanning 40 years. A gentleman to know. Squad presented Len with signed Munster jersey, He’ll hope he has 2 more days left on mic! @Diarmuid_G @Live95fmNews @Limerick_Leader pic.twitter.com/afBqdgOaIJ
