Following Geoff Moylan’s decision to leave Shannon after three very successful seasons, Mick Galwey has been announced as his successor at the club. Moylan decided to leave due to family circumstances and a change in employment, leaving the door open for Galwey to step in.

Following requests from many Munster supporters, who have been anxious to join the Supporter Club over the past few years, the Munster Supporters club have decided this year to introduce Associate membership. Associate membership gives supporters much of the same benefits as full members, with the exception of a Heineken Cup ticket guarantee. However Associate members will have first refusal on any Heineken Cup tickets for the knock-out stages, which will hopefully avoid the farce that was the ticket distribution for last year’s semi-final.
