Institute aiming to bounce back after cup defeat

CATHOLIC INSTITUTE have an instant opportunity to bounce back from their Munster Senior Cup final defeat to Cork Harlequins in midweek, as they lock horns with Greenfields in the Irish Trophy final at Belfield on Sunday (1.30pm).

Institute are one of three Munster sides in national finals this weekend, and have further motivation to make their mark here, having lost last year’s decider to Ulster Elks.

However, coach Ger O’Carroll will have to plan without Irish international skipper Eimear Cregan, who is ineligible for national competitions having moved in mid-season from Quins.
