Key Munster trio return to the fray

CHRISTMAS comes early tomorrow for Munster coach Alan Gaffney with three of his provincial key men returning to competitive action in the AIB League.

His assistant Brian Hickey will be watching the fitness and form of Cork Constitution’s Anthony Horgan, Donnacha O’Callaghan and team captain Jim Williams as they go through their paces against Buccaneers at Temple Hill. All three are recovering from their long term and recent injuries respectively.

Horgan’s season will finally kick off when he plays on the left wing having received the all-clear on his damaged shoulder in Edinburgh 10 days ago.
