Munster U18 Clubs & Schools Battle It Out

The Munster U18 Clubs extended squad took on their Schools counterparts last Wednesday evening at Castletroy College, in the final stage of the selection process ahead of the Interprovincial Series 2014/15.

Both squads have undergone a vigorous selection process throughout the season which started with player identification viewings within various school and club competitions throughout Munster.

A series of warm-up matches have also taken place over the past few months as both management teams have faced the difficult task of whittling numbers down to a 26 man squad plus 10 reserve players.

The final Munster U18 Clubs and Munster U18 Schools' squads will join the Munster U20's and Munster U19’s at the annual Munster Rugby Talent Camp this July in Rockwell College, to prepare for the upcoming interpros.

All four final squads will be announced shortly.
