URC Trophy Tour Across Munster
16th June 2023 By The Editor
Craig Casey at Christ The King BNS.
The URC trophy tour continues apace across the province with thousands of supporters, young and old, getting up close and personal with our new piece of silverware.
The first port of call, before even the homecoming at Thomond Park, saw Keith Earls visit Milford National School with the trophy.
Thank you @KEITHEARLS87 for bringing the URC Trophy. Straight off the plane ✈️ and directly into MNS. Well done on an amazing performance @Munsterrugby in Capetown this weekend. We are all so proud of your achievements. 🏆 @URCOfficial @IrishTimes @IrishRugby @news2dayRTE pic.twitter.com/joSUol8Szz
