Connacht and French side Toulon will open European club rugby's prestigious semi-finals weekend when they meet in the first of the Amlin Challenge Cup semi-finals at the Sportsground on Friday, April 30.
Initial doubt as to the venue for the Connacht v Toulon tie were laid to rest after talks between the Connacht managment and ERC officials concluded with the Galway City pitch being given the go-ahead.
Connacht CEO Gerry Kelly was delighted with the news, saying: "The Sportsground was always our prefered option for the semi-final, not only does it give us every opportunity on the pitch - Connacht have not lost at home since September - but it gives us a chance to reward our fans and sponsors alike.
"We look forward to working closely with local businesses, Galway City Council and Failté Ireland to make this a truely memorable event."
Connacht v Toulon tckets will go on sale early next week from www.ticketmaster.ie and from the Connacht Branch offices in the Sportsground on College Road.
