Seven cricket clubs in Munster have benefited from a Sport Ireland scheme for teams who may be experiencing financial difficulties due to Covid-19 and who would need financial assistance to maintain operations.

In all, 31 clubs in the Republic of Ireland have been told they will receive grants and both the Leinster and Munster provincial unions will benefit from the scheme.
