Limerick aims to host rugby league World Cup games

LIMERICK is planning to cash in on its sporting pedigree to attract a number of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup games when the competition is hosted by England and Wales.

Shannon Development and Shannon Region Conference & Sports Bureau have teamed up with Rugby League Ireland and Thomond Park to make the bid to host the matches.

The official “Back the Bid — Limerick 2013” campaign was launched in Thomond Park yesterday.
