Giving a little back to Darbyshire

LAST Saturday Thomond Park hosted the latest meeting of Munster and Leinster in the Magners League, a game hyped in the usual terms: a huge battle, with unflinching confrontation. You know the drill.

Munster won thanks to a late, late penalty from Ronan O’Gara, ending a losing sequence of five consecutive games against the eastern province.

Happiness for many in Cork and Limerick this morning, then, as well as many other points on the southern half of the compass.
