Nemo rescue frostbitten Ireland squad

IRISH rugby’s contract with the GAA may be coming to an end, but the spirit of ecumenism lives on.

When the Irish rugby squad found themselves yesterday without a training base, one of the GAA’s most successful clubs came to the rescue.

With PBC Cork’s Wilton base suffering from the early morning frost, Nemo Rangers’ superb base in Trabeg on Cork City’s South Douglas Road came to the rescue with its indoor facilities.
