Delight as city set to benefit from rugby tie

MANY Northampton supporters, just home after last Saturday’s game against Munster at Thomond Park, are preparing for a return to Limerick for the Heineken Cup quarter-final tie.

Some Limerick hotels report they have been heavily booked by the English club’s supporters who plan to ensure they are well organised for the big game set for the weekend of April 10/11.

Last Saturday’s game against Northampton was reportedly worth more than €10 million to the city.
