MMI GROUP INTERPROVINCIAL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Congratulations to Munster who won the Shield Final in the MMI Group Interprovincial Football Championship in Kinnegad on Saturday last. Munster’s first game was against Connacht where they were narrowly defeated, Munster 1-8 Connacht 2-8. In the second game Munster overcame Ulster on a score line of 3-6 to 1-10 and they recorded their second victory of the day in the third match against Leinster, Munster 2-12 Leinster 1-4.
Due to other results not going their way Munster competed against Ulster in a penalty shoot out to decide which final they would contest. Munster were unsuccessful in the penalty shoot-out and this meant they would compete against Leinster in the Shield Final. In a tight game which ended in a draw Munster 4-6 Leinster 1-15, another penalty shoot-out was required by Munster to claim the title.
Congratulations to Tipperary’s Gillian O’Brien who was part of the Munster panel and Elaine Harte, Tipperary Minor Selector who was a selector on the Munster Management Team.
