Historic day at UL Bowl

HISTORY will be made on the opening day of the All Ireland League season when UL Bohemian and UCD play the first rugby match at the University of Limerick Bowl,(Saturday, 2.30pm).

The venue has existed since 1973 with the foundation of the original Thomond College. A visionary of the time had the foresight to move tons of earth excavated for the college building and stack it to create an amphitheatre effect above the pitch.

A running track surrounding the playing pitch quickly followed.
