Nenagh Ormond on the brink of history for Tippeary rugby

Nenagh Ormond RFC will make history when they take to the field in Thomond Park Thursday evening for the club's first Munster Senior Challenge Cup Final.

UP FOR THE CHALLENGE: Theresa Hassey, President Nenagh Ormond RFC and Trish Montgomery, President Young Munster RFC with the Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup trophy. The final of the Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup will be played on Thursday, March 16th in Thomond Park (KO 7.30pm).

There is nothing quite like the build up to a final. The excitement, anticipation and nervousness all leading up to the big day. And when it’s a club’s very first Senior Cup final, that build-up is all the more special.

For Nenagh Ormond RFC, the Bank of Ireland Munster Senior Challenge Cup Final is a huge occasion. It is a first in the club’s 139-year history. Indeed they are the first team from Tipperary to reach the final since Rockwell College in 1908. And if things go their way Thursday evening, they will become the first Tipperary team to win the competition.
