High School Clonmel making historic Senior Cup debut

History will be made this afternoon when High School Clonmel step out onto the Musgrave Park pitch as the Tipperary school play in the Munster Senior Cup for the first time.

An enthralling 17-17 draw against SMI Newcastle West in the qualifying round was enough for Clonmel to advance as they scored more tries than their Limerick opponents. An early score from Cathal McGuigan and a brace from back-row Cian Walsh saw the Tipperary men set up this afternoon’s first round tie with Bandon Grammar School (2.45pm).
