Munster claim opening day double in interpros

MUNSTER got off to the best possible start on the opening day of the senior and boys interprovincial championships at Rosses Point yesterday.

The senior side caused a big upset by outscoring Leinster 6½-4½, while the boys had a single point to spare over Ulster.

The northern province has been dominant in most of the recent senior championships but may well struggle this time round given the absence of their top two players, Paul Cutler and Alan Dunbar, both required by the British & Irish Walker Cup team for trials at Royal Aberdeen.
