Thomond to play host to weddings

RUGBY-MAD couples are bidding to be the first to wed on the hallowed turf of Thomond Park and walk down the touch line as man and wife.

The €40 million stadium has three function suites looking on to the pitch and wedding inquiries are already coming in.

Two function rooms on the new east stand nearest the city will be able to seat 500 and 200 and the third on the west stand will be able to seat 300 guests.
