LOCK CIAN HURLEY will graduate from Munster’s academy next season and sign a professional contract, the province has confirmed.
Hurley, a product of Clonakilty RFC and Christians, can also play back row and has made four first-team appearances for Munster this season.
The 22-year-old spent three years in Munster’s academy and made his debut against Benetton in 2021. He currently plays his AIL rugby with Garryowen.
Hooker Chris Moore has extended his own professional contract by a further year after arriving last summer from Exeter University. The Irish-qualified 22-year-old has been playing his club rugby this season with Young Munster.
Munster have also confirmed that prop James French will depart the province for a new playing opportunity at the end of the season.
French, 24, is a former Ireland U20 international and has been a member of Munster’s senior squad since 2021.
It been on for 17 days , bad form from the 42 not to have more articles regarding it , massive following here because of past Irish achievements in the completion. Rant over . Delighted for Bingham , feel sorry for Murphy . Two real genuine guys
They are to busy trying to get some BOD related story published, the snooker has been more entertaining than the “fight of the century”
Agreed the lack of coverage was pathetic. And this article not much better either.
Agreed
Great game and well done Stuart Bingham.Shaun Murphy was pure class in his speech after top man
Dreadful photo..
delighted for bingham, alot of people would have given up on the dream after 20 years as a pro. Age doesnt seem to be a factor with him as it has been with so many others.
He’s seems to have adapted his game as he’s got older. He knows he doesn’t have that burst of acceleration anymore so now he just casually walks around the table.
A game between two genuine nice guys, and great to see someone who probably would have been considered a journey man pro, win the World Title. Snooker of the highest quality as well, with most frames being won in one visit. See nice guys do win sometimes.
That 31st frame was epic, it was almost like the final frame the way it was played and it did turn out to be a very defining one
Pure shite worse than cricket
