Our own Fiachna Barrett helped Connacht U18s to a big win over USA in Galway on Tuesday. The Geesala youth played his part in the 45-12 victory and performed very well, as usual.
Fiachna and his colleagues are preparing for the upcoming Inter-Pros where they will be hoping to retain the national crown.
Another Ballina player, Sam Callinan, would usually be part of the Connacht set-up but is busily preparing for Mayo's All-Ireland minor semi-final against Dublin at the weekend. Good luck Sam and all the boys in green and red.
