MCU announce 2010 Munster Cup draws

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The MCU today announced the draw for the 2010 Munster Cup competitions.

Cork County face a tough trip to Plassey on the outskirts of Galway City in the Preliminary Round of the Munster Senior Cup in a repeat of last season’s draw when an understrength County side suffered a surprise two wicket defeat to the Tribesmen. County Galway went on to reach the Senior Cup Final where they were eventually defeated by Cork Harlequins. The 2009 Cup winners begin the defence of their Senior Cup title with a home tie against Co. Kerry.

In the Junior Cup competition, holders Cork County are faced with the prospect of a preliminary clash with a much fancied Co. Clare team as they set out to retain the cup. Waterford District take their junior cup bow and await the winner of the preliminary tie between Lismore and Limerick.

UCC, last year’s Minor Cup winners, take on the young Presentation side in the preliminary round and will consider themselves lucky to have avoided the strong Cork County and Cork Harlequins side of the draw.


The 2010 Draw as it affects Cork County is as follows:

Munster Senior Cup

Round One:

Co. Galway v Cork County

Munster Junior Cup

Preliminary Round:

Cork County 2 v County Clare

Munster Minor Cup

Preliminary Round:

Midleton 3 v Cork County 3
