Sweetnam on Munster bench

British and Irish Cup

The former Cork senior hurler is named among the replacements on Ian Costello’s team who will be seeking a positive result to help secure a place in the quarter-finals of a tournament they won in style last season.

First year Academy player Sweetnam joins colleague Brian Haugh on the bench in a squad denied the services of Barry O’Mahony (groin), Cian Bohane (knee) and Corey Hircock (ankle). Sean Henry was due to captain the side but he is also ruled out as he travels to Edinburgh as cover for the senior side’s Heineken Cup clash.
