Tierney: Con ready for tough cup test

Not everyone is happy the way the Munster Branch has conducted affairs in relation to the Munster Senior Cup.

However, Tom Tierney, who spent much of his playing career in Limerick and Munster, believes in years to come anyone possessing a Munster Cup medal will treasure it as much as players did in the glory years of the competition

Tierney is now head coach at Cork Constitution, holders of the trophy, and is in no mood to let their grip slip. Con meet Young Munster in today’s semi-final at Temple Hill (2.30) and Tierney hailed it as “the second biggest competition in club rugby.”
