Rugby fans queue up to kit out at charity auction

Rugby fans queued outside Peter Clohessy’s sports pub in Limerick from 8.30am yesterday, thirsty for mouth-watering rugby memorabilia up for grabs in a special auction.

The Munster squad donated much of their old kit to be auctioned off in aid of the Livelife Foundation set up in honour of Tralee teenager Donal Walsh, who died on May 12 after a battle with cancer.

More than 1,000 items were sold and such was the demand for the 77 players’ jerseys that each purchaser was limited to two.
