38 acres of grassland near Bandon expecting €15k/acre
Another prime piece of grassland is new to the market in the hotspot of the Bandon area of West Cork, for sale with Clonakilty-based auctioneers Hodnett Forde Property Services. The 38-acre holding at Bunanumera is located 200m south of the main road (R586), roughly midway between Ballineen/Enniskeane and Dunmanway. Bandon is 21km away, Dunmanway is 7km away, and Clonakilty is 17km to the south. 'It's a lovely bit of ground,' said selling agent John Hodnett. Nice level, low-lying land with extensive road frontage on its western boundary 'It's currently laid out in pasture and set out in a number of large paddocks with good internal fencing. It has a central farm roadway giving great access to all paddocks.' 'It's located in a very strong farming area,' said selling agent John Hodnett. The property has been let for a number of years, but it has all the appearances of being well-tended — being used for grazing and silage production. 'It's located in a very strong farming area,' said John. 'There have been strong enquiries to date — from dairying and drystock interests — it's not surprising because this is a holding that's within the budget of a wide range of farmers, and you need only open the gate and walk in. "There's also a pumphouse with electricity and water supply is via a deep-bored well," he added. The price expectation is in the region of €15,000/acre.

Munster v Ulster LIVE coverage of the vital URC clash at Thomond Park
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the URC derby clash between Munster and Ulster at Thomond Park. There's more than just interpro pride at stake tonight as both provinces are in desperate need of a victory to keep their hopes alive of making the top eight play-offs. Finishing outside of the play-off places will guarantee no Champions Cup rugby for next season, a dire prospect for both provinces. Both sides are currently outside the cut mark with two regular season fixtures to go and, while Munster are in a stronger position as they are ninth in the table to Ulster's 12th, there are only three points separating the sides. A win for the Reds would set up a barnstorming collision with Benetton, who are in eighth, in Cork next Friday night - a potential winner takes all scenario. Ulster finish up with a trip to Edinburgh, who could also be fighting to get into the play-offs, so it's all to play for and it should ensure a tense but entertaining showdown in Limerick. Richie Murphy's visitors come into this game on the back of a three-match losing streak - the Champions Cup quarter-final against Bordeaux, who have advanced to the final, followed by the URC games against Leinster and the Sharks, which was a damaging three-point defeat in Belfast almost a fortnight ago. Munster, meanwhile, felt they were hitting their straps with their gutsy European victory in La Rochelle but they have also lost their last three fixtures - also to Bordeaux, in the Champions Cup last eight, and then that controversial narrow home defeat to the Bulls followed by the away loss at Cardiff. With key men back on both sides - Peter O'Mahony, John Hodnett and Stephen Archer for Munster, Iain Henderson, Rob Baloucoune and Michael Lowry for Ulster - expect it to be a typically close derby affair at Thomond Park with five precious points at stake at the business end of the season. Both provinces will have a firm idea of what is needed from their respective last hurrahs - if anything - by mid afternoon on Sunday, but they will be feeling a lot better about themselves if they win this one. Stay with us for the build-up followed by a blow by blow account of this high-stakes meeting. Munster: Thaakir Abrahams; Calvin Nash, Tom Farrell, Alex Nankivell, Diarmuid Kilgallen; Jack Crowley, Craig Casey; Michael Milne, Niall Scannell, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Tadhg Beirne (C); Peter O'Mahony, John Hodnett, Gavin Coombes. Replacements: Lee Barron, Josh Wycherley, John Ryan, Fineen Wycherley, Tom Ahern, Conor Murray, Seán O'Brien, Alex Kendellen. Ulster: Michael Lowry, Rob Baloucoune, Jude Postlethwaite, Stuart McCloskey, Jack Stockdale, Jack Murphy, Nathan Doak, Andrew Warwick, Rob Herring, Scott Wilson, Iain Henderson (CAPT), Cormac Izuchukwu, Matty Rea, Nick Timoney, James McNabney. Replacements: Tom Stewart, Callum Reid, Tom O'Toole, Alan O'Connor, David McCann, Dave Shanahan, Stewart Moore, Werner Kok.
