Weekend action

It’s another full weekend of action on the representative front with the Leinster U18 girls in action against Connacht in UCD, kick off on Saturday at 2.45pm, in what is a repeat of last weekend’s round robin fixture, but on this occasion it’s “winner takes all” in what is now the Interprovincial final. Two of our girls have again been selected (Mia continues with her recovery from injury), Diana at 13 after her Player of the Match performance last weekend, bagging four tries and a conversion in the process. Isabella gets her just rewards with a place on the bench following impressive performances when she came on as a sub for her Interpro debut against Munster in Energia Park the weekend before last and followed it up with a full game against Connacht last weekend.

Leinster’s U19 boys seek to round off an impressive Interpro campaign to date with their final game against Munster in Virgin Media Park, Cork, on Sunday where once again Shane McGuigan has been selected at No 6.

Meanwhile, it’s Midland League action for the Senior men on Friday evening in Mullingar when they will hope to follow up on an impressive performance against Tullamore last weekend, which in itself followed their first round win over Edenderry the previous weekend. For their part, Mullingar had a narrow victory over Edenderry in their last game.
