Limerick Colours Match To Light Up Thomond Park
Ul v LIT is a fixture that has become a main stay in the college rugby calendar since the first game in 1997. The John O’Brien memorial trophy is the prize that awaits the victors with UL hoping to lift the trophy for the third year in-a-row.
This year the UL v LIT fixture returns to Thomond Park after an absence of three years due to the redevelopment of the stadium.
Both colleges are excited by the generous offer of Thomond Park to open its gates for what should be a great game of colleges rugby.
Over the years some of Munster’s great players have played in this fixture, including current captain Paul O’Connell and long-serving prop Marcus Horan.
This year’s fixture is due to include some of the best players that the AIB League has to offer from some of Limerick’s strongest clubs.
The latest installment of the UL-LIT rivalry will take place this Wednesday at Thomond Park. Kick-off is at 7pm, with the gates opening at 6pm. Tickets are available at the ground.
Ticket costs: Adult: €;6, Third Level Student: €;5, and Student Under-18 & OAP: €;3.
