Munster only winners as fans stay away

A decent contest of football deservedly won by Munster was overshadowed by the paltry crowd at yesterday’s M Donnelly Interprovincial semi-final at Parnell Park.

A crowd of between 600 and 800 patrons attended a game which saw the visitors hold off Leinster to keep their chances of retaining the competition alive.

Munster manager Ger O’Sullivan was genuinely surprised by how big the attendance was, given he felt there was little marketing done for the game.
