Con bid to dethrone Shannon

IT may not carry the same lustre as in previous years, but any Munster Senior Cup meeting of Shannon and Cork Con is calculated to stir even the most punch-drunk rugby supporter.

Constitution, experiencing a turbulent AIL campaign, must travel to Thomond Park today in a bid to dethrone the reigning cup champions at the semi-final stage.

The game kicks off at 1pm, affording supporters ample time to settle themselves for the Grand Slam climax in Cardiff.
