Munster throw their support behind the Irish Cancer Society

Fundraisers took turns to walk the UCC Mardyke Arena running track over the course of 24 hours in aid of the charity. In its first year, Relay for Life UCC raised over €21,000 and just last year raised over €45,000.

In following the Relay for Life motto of ''Celebrate, Remember, Fight Back'', the event opened with a ceremony celebrating cancer survivors - the beacons of hope for the event.

A remembrance ceremony also took place as night fell where the track was lined with 'candles of hope'.

The final element was to 'fight back' by using the event to highlight specific issues relating to cancer.

NGN Sevens Auction

The NGN 7s are a charity rugby team founded in conjunction with the Spence family in memory of former Ulster centre Nevin Spence, his brother Graham and father Noel who all tragically passed away in a farming accident in 2012.

Munster Rugby donated a player issue number 9 jersey which will in turn be auctioned to raise funds for the NICFC (Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children), of which Nevin was an ambassador.
