Solomons hits out at Celtic League changes

ULSTER COACH Alan Solomons has hit out at plans to reduce the Celtic League programme ahead of this evening’s Irish derby clash with Munster at Ravenhill (7.30 kick-off).

Although he is leaving at the end of May, Solomons is in no doubt that the present format for the league should be maintained or even increased and not cut as has been hinted.

“The league should stay the same. Players need games, and the more fixtures you have the more money it will bring in. That would be the same for all provinces,” he said.
