Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

  • The Redevelopment of Thomond Park, Limerick
    THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THOMOND PARK, LIMERICK TOM COSGROVE BE, MEngSc, CEng, MIEI, EurIng, MIStructE Director, Michael Punch & Partners MICHAEL QUILLIGAN BE, MEngSc, LicEng, MIEI Project Engineer, Michael Punch & Partners BRYAN WHELAN BE, MIEI Project Engineer, Michael Punch & Partners CIAN MURPHY BE, MIEI Project Engineer, Michael Punch & Partners Paper presented to Engineers Ireland, Dublin, 11th November 2008. Paper to be published in the Institution of Structural Engineer’s ‘The Structural Engineer – Republic of Ireland Branch Special Issue’, February 2009. SYNOPSIS Thomond Park, the historic home of Munster Rugby, has undergone a major redevelopment which has seen its capacity rise to 25,756. This paper describes the design and construction of the new stand and terrace structures. Particular emphasis is given to the development of the architectural and engineering concepts, the wind tunnel testing and dynamic analysis undertaken during detailed design, and the fabrication and erection of the two 150m span ‘rainbow’ roof trusses. 1. INTRODUCTION The love affair between the public in Limerick and Rugby began very early in the history of the game. It has been played with passion and pride ever since the first club was founded in the city in 1876 and, uniquely in Ireland, has been as popular among working men (and now women) as among the professional classes. Undoubtedly the moment that epitomised all the passion and skill of Munster rugby was when the final whistle blew on 31st October 1978, when for the first and only time in rugby history a fully representative All Black side failed to score and were defeated 12-0. Prior to the current re-development the official capacity of Thomond Park was 11,091, with 1,242 seated in the West Stand and a further 9,849 standing on terraces on all 4 sides of the ground (Figure 1).

For more information, please see the item record link above. IRF OFF: CONNACHT’S FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL AND THE FOUNDATION MYTH OF A RUGBY IDENTITY Ruadhán Cooke & Éamon Ó Cofaigh The Connacht Rugby website describes its crest as ‘a modified version of the provincial flag consisting of a dimidiated eagle and an arm wielding a sword’. Little could Connacht have suspected that the arm wielding the sword over the province would one day be that of its own parent body. This article will retrace briefly the history of Connacht Rugby, focusing in particular on the near-death experience of the 2002/03 season. In reviewing the media coverage of a three-week window of protest which ultimately prompted the IRFU to reverse its plan to disband the professional team, this article will critically assess the legacy of the protest movement whose lasting achievements include not just the immediate survival of the franchise but its more recent successes on and off the field.1 The story of Connacht Rugby will be situated in the context of its geographic location and history of economic and social marginalisation.

    An Exploration of whether Munster Rugby Supporters are a representation of a Brand Community.

Signature of research student: Date: 04/08/2020 iii Abstract With sport and rugby sitting within a multi-billion industry, the competition amongst sports organisations off the field is equal to what is experienced on the field. Supporters and fans are critical to the financial success of a club, and that is often influenced by the level of success experienced by the team. An organisation like Munster Rugby must compete to recruit, retain, and develop their supporter base, in the same way, any other organisation must do. They must filter their potential market down the funnel to the ideal target of creating active, loyal customers.
