Harrington ‘fascinated’ by Munster phenomenon

PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON picked a perfect evening to see Munster for the first time at Thomond Park.

Though born and raised in Dublin, Harrington has a strong affiliation with the southern province as his late father, Paddy, was a native of Castletownbere and played football for Cork.

He was full of admiration both for the amazing atmosphere permeating the new Limerick stadium before, during and after the game. Indeed, it was close on midnight when he and wife Caroline, family members and good friend JP McManus headed for home after a memorable occasion.
