Youngsters key as Munster claim Interpros title

Munster captured the Senior Interprovincial Championship for the second time in three years when they pulled off a magnificent 7-4 victory over hot favourites and holders Ulster in an epic decider at The Island links in North Dublin yesterday.

There were many heroes, most notably Waterford youngsters Gary Hurley and Robin Dawson who went through the three-day series undefeated. However, every member of the squad played their part in an outstanding achievement.

Six of the panel: Hurley, Gary O’Flaherty, Ian O’Rourke, Geoff Lenehan, Niall Gorey and Pat Murray were members of the successful side at Royal Co. Down in 2012 and again Lee Valley’s Phil Cooney proved a wily and popular captain who got the best out of his team.
