Interpros this weekend

The Connacht U18 and U19s and U18 Girls squads have been named for their respective Interprovincial Championships which begin this weekend and Ballina RFC is richly represented.
Katelyn Bourke and Nina McVann have got the call from Fraser Gow and they're part of a 30-player panel for the Girls series which begins this Saturday with a trip to NUIM Barnhall to face Leinster at 2pm. Their sole home fixture comes against Munster the following Saturday at The Sportsground as part of a double header with the senior Women's team, before a trip to Queen’s University to face Ulster one week later.
The competition will be decided by two semi-finals and a final, which will be run following the completion of the round robin stage.

Fiachna Barrett and Harry West have been selected for the Boys U18 squad who will begin their campaign on Saturday against Ulster at 3pm in University of Limerick where the competition will be played off over a week.
This will be followed by a contest with Leinster on Wednesday at 5pm and they complete their campaign with a meeting with Munster on Sunday 25th August at the same venue at 3pm.

Alan Duffy and Caolan Hopkins have been selected for the U19s who go into their interpros with the bulk of the squad winning the U18 Interprovincial Championship at UL 12 months ago. They begin their series away to Munster this Friday at Thomond Park at 4pm.
Their one and only home game comes on Wednesday next versus Leinster in The Sportsground at 2.30pm, and their final game against Ulster on Sunday 25th August will be played at the neutral venue of NUIM Barnhall at 1.30pm.
