Munster Age-Grade Interpro Round-Up

It was a busy weekend of Munster age-grade Interprovincial action with the Munster U18 Girls, U18 Boys Clubs and U19 Boys all playing matches across Saturday and Sunday.

The three games completed the underage Interprovincial campaigns for the season with the Munster U18 Boys Schools completing their campaign last week.
