Munster Senior Cup (association football)

The Munster Senior Cup is a provincial soccer tournament played among senior soccer clubs from Munster in Ireland. The competition is run by the Munster Football Association, which is affiliated to the Football Association of Ireland.

History

The competition, which started in 1901, was dominated by British army teams until 1922. Such was the dominance of the Armed forces teams that the competition was not held from 1915-1922 marking a time when British forces were involved in World War I and the Irish War of Independence. With the withdrawal of British forces from the Irish Free State (later to be the Republic of Ireland) civilian teams began to emerge.

Since 1922 senior clubs that play or played in the League of Ireland have dominated the winners' list. In particular teams from Cork have left a mark on the competition, winning 60 of the 81 finals since 1922.

In recent times Cork City emerged as the dominant force, winning the competition 16 times since being founded in 1984. The current champions are Premier Division outfit Limerick F.C. who defeated Avondale United in the 2015 decider 1-0. But Limerick's semi-final was the game to remember after drawing with Munster Derby rivals 3-3 after extra-time and then winning 8-7 in a penalty shootout against a full-strengthened and favored Cork City team.

Munster

Munster (Irish: an Mhumhain / Cúige Mumhan, pronounced [ə ˈvuːnʲ], [ˌkuːgʲə ˈmuːn]) is one of the provinces of Ireland situated in the south of Ireland. In early Ireland, it was one of the "fifths" ruled by a "king of over-kings" Irish: rí ruirech. Following the Norman invasion of Ireland, the ancient kingdoms were shired into a number of counties for administrative and judicial purposes. In later centuries, local government legislation has seen further sub-division of the historic counties.

Munster has no official function for local government purposes. For the purposes of the ISO, the province is listed as one of the provincial sub-divisions of the State (ISO 3166-2:IE) and coded as "IE-M". Geographically, Munster covers a total area of 24,675 km² (9,527 sq mi) and has a population of 1,246,088 with the most populated city being Cork. Other significant urban centres in the province include Limerick and Waterford.

Munsterkerk

Munsterkerk (Munster) is an old 13th century Our Lady church in Roermond. The towers are 55 m height.

The Munsterkerk is the most important example of Late Romanesque architecture in the Netherlands. It's the only surviving part of an abbey, the rest of which was demolished in 1924. The church was restored by architect P.J.H. Cuypers between 1863 and 1890; during this restoration the frontal towers were added while a Baroque tower was removed and the originally octagonal eastern towers were replaced by square ones.

In 1992 the church was damaged by an earthquake which destroyed the two eastern towers, which were rebuilt since.

The church is a Rijksmonument, and is part of the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.
