sextonhec350Leinster romped home to a comfortable 32 22 win over Northampton Saints to claim their 2nd Heineken European Cup trophy. The Saints had a commanding lead at the break with tries from Ben Foden, captain Dylan Hartley and Phil Dawson, with outhalf Steve Myler converting 3 and adding a penalty. Leinster had 2 Johnny Sexton penalties at the break leaving them trailing by 22 points to 6. But Leinster came out firing on all cylinders in the second half and a brace of tries from Sexton,   1 from Nathan Hines, 3 conversions and a further 2 penalties led the Province to victory.

Their win on Saturday see’s Ireland earn an extra berth in the 2011/12 Heineken European Cup and Connacht will be competing in Europe’s premier club competition next season for the first time. That historic occasion will bring an end to Connacht’s record 15 years in the second tier of European competition and will see all 4 Irish Provinces compete in the Heineken European Cup for the first time in history.

Connacht have launched their season tickets for next season. The superb value ticket will guarantee entry to all of Connacht’s 11 home Magners League games (including Inter-Provincial derby’s against Munster, Ulster and Leinster), 3 home Heineken Cup pool games and all of Connacht’s home pre-season friendlies (TBC) Click here for further details.

Testimonials

"Through the Connacht Rugby Group Ticket Discount scheme we were able to offer Boston Scientific employees reduced price tickets for all home games in the 2010/11 season. Over 500 tickets were sold with many people attending games for the first time and becoming repeat customers. Overall the scheme saved Boston Scientific employees approximately €1,000 on the tickets purchased. The scheme was worthwhile as it gave exposure to Connacht's fixtures within the company and acted as an incentive for people who were undecided about going to games. Connacht Rugby definitely gained new supporters as a direct result of the scheme". Boston Scientific Sports & Social Club


Trips to support Connacht at the Sportsground brought a buzz of anticipation to the office on Friday evenings. We availed of the group discount which was further topped up by our Sports & Social club. This meant that the tickets were affordable ... and we even managed to drag along some rugby first-timers as well as rugby fans from other provinces. The games were never short of excitement and it was a great way for people who work together to socialise & get to know each other outside the office. Cisco Systems Sports & Social Club

 

 

Getting the group discount from Connacht really helped keeping the cost down of running a great night out at the match followed by a night out in the city for a number of IBM Social Club events throughout the season. It makes the social event more social with a match to talk about amongst work colleagues rather than bringing work talk out with us. Really looking forward to some awesome nights with the Heineken Cup next season. IBM Sports & Social Club

 

 

 

*Please note that group discounts will not be available for all games. Terms and Conditions apply.
