So far, 24,600 entrance caps have been sold with only 5,400 remaining. Spectators can choose from one of eight different coloured "two-day entrance caps" representing Ireland, Munster Rugby and each of the Munster counties.

At a cost of €50 for both days, they can be purchased from the website www.jpmcmanusproam.com or at selected retail outlets.

The aim of the JP McManus Invitational Pro-Am is to support mid-western charities and groups in their work with the underprivileged and disadvantaged.
