Cricket Ireland have released the 2019 Inter-Provincial fixtures covering all three concurrent competitions:
- Inter-Provincial Championship (three-day matches)
- Inter-Provincial Cup (50-over matches)
- Inter-Provincial Trophy (T20 matches)
The Munster Reds sponsored by All Rounder Cricket will continue to compete in the IP20 competition and will open their account against the Leinster Lightning in the first round robin festival at Pembroke Cricket Club on the 22nd June.
This season takes the Reds to Pembroke and Bready, where they will face their fellow provincial sides in six games, split across two weekends.
The first takes place at Pembroke Cricket Club in the nation’s capital, on the June Bank Holiday (22nd – 24th), where the Reds will take on the hosts in Saturday’s late game, having beaten them during last year’s festival weekend.
The following morning the Reds face the Northern Knights, before rounding up the weekend against last year’s champions North-West Warriors, whom the Reds also defeated the last time the two sides faced-off.
Then it’s an almost two-month wait before the second weekend rolls around on Friday August 16th, this time at Bready Cricket Club in County Tyrone, where again the Reds face the weekend’s hosts, this time the Warriors, in the first game of the weekend.
In fact, Munster’s representative side play all of their games in the morning north of the border, facing the Northern Knights on Saturday 17th, and finishing their season like they began, with a game against the Lightning, the second consecutive season these two sides contest the final game of the competition.
