Munster U18 Clubs Put To The Test By Irish Exiles

The Munster U18 Clubs were narrowly defeated 31-25 by the Irish Exiles yesterday, at Reading, London in a pre Interprovincial warm up friendly. In a very close encounter both sides put on a very impressive display, with the Munster outfit using the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they developed during their recent 5 week Talent Camp programme. Despite the hosts clinching victory in the end, Munster’s Head Coach Noel O’Meara took plenty of positives from his side’s display as they continue preparations to defend their Interprovincial title. “I was very happy with the side’s overall performance, taking a lot of positives from the game which bodes well for the Interpros.” Tipperary man Evan Murphy (back-row) will lead the Munster U18 Clubs into their opening fixture scheduled for Saturday, 9^th September taking on Connacht at Cork IT, ko 1.30pm. The Muster Under 18 Schools side will travel to the Sportsground on Wednesday, 23^rd  August to take on Connacht in their pre Interprovincial Series challenge match. The side kick off their campaign on Wednesday, 23^rd August away to Leinster.   Munster U18 Clubs Interprovincial Fixtures   Sat., 9^th September | Munster v Connacht | Cork IT | ko 1.30pm Sat., 17^th September | Munster v Ulster | Thomond Park Stadium | ko 1pm Sat., 23^rd September | Leinster v Munster | Donnybrook | ko 12pm   Munster U18 Schools Interprovincial Fixtures   Wed., 23^rd August | Leinster v Munster | Donnybrook | ko 3pm Mon., 28^th August | Munster v Ulster | Thomond Park | ko 3pm Sat., 9th September | Munster v Leinster | Cork IT | ko 3.30pm Sat., 16^th September | Ulster v Munster | RBAI | ko 1.30pm   Munster U19 Interprovincial Fixtures    Sat., 2^nd September |Munster v Leinster | Cork IT | ko 2.30pm Sun., 10^th September | Connacht v Munster | Sportsground | ko 2.30pm Sat., 16^th September | Ulster v Munster | RBAI | ko 3.30pm
