Munster’s big guns take aim at Irish doubles at Shannon

Muskerry, Limerick and Doneraile are chasing elusive doubles at this weekend’s Munster finals of the AIG Irish Senior and Junior Cups, along with the Barton Shield, at Shannon Golf Club.

Limerick and Tramore have a rich pedigree in the Senior Cup and will be joined in the race for honours by Castlemartyr and Doneraile, both yet to land a national pennant.

Limerick completed the Senior Cup-Barton Shield double at Tramore in 1976 with a squad containing Vincent Nevin and Jackie Harrington and are again positioned to claim provincial glory in both events this weekend.
