For the first time this series Ireland U20 coach Allen Clarke has made changes to the Ireland U20s starting XV.

The Ireland Women's team to face Wales Women this Friday evening in Ashbourne RFC has been named.

Fullback Greg O'Shea was one of many outstanding individuals on a Crescent side which qualified for the Avonmore Munster Schools Junior Cup final when they beat Glenstal Abbey in a hugely entertaining contest at a sun drenched Clifford Park.

As the U19 season closed last week end, the U 17 finals are now being played out. The Mallow/Fermoy U17 team took on St Marys from Limerick in the U17 Development Cup in Ballincollig and came away with a great victory.

There was plenty of drama and excitement in the latest round of games in the Munster Junior League.
