Connacht chief Kelly relishing home comforts

THE chief executive of Connacht Rugby Gerry Kelly said he is delighted their Amlin Challenge Cup semi-final against Toulon will be accommodated in the Sportsground.

There were fears it might have to be moved from a ground, where Connacht are unbeaten in eight games going back to last September, but the tie will now go ahead there on Friday, April 30, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Kelly said they would look at bringing in temporary seating with a view towards getting the capacity up from 5,000 to at least 8,000.
