The Connacht Junior Team for their final interprovincial of the season against Munster in Dunmore has been named. The team shows one change so far with Jack Winters of Ballinrobe starting at Number Eight instead of Roy Stanley. Christy Reilly of Corrib has also been introduced in the replacements.
A decision on Padraig Mannion’s fitness will be made closer to kick off with Cormac Grodan of Westport coming in if the Monivea prop fails a fitness test. Kick off on Saturday is at 2.30 on what will be an historic day for the Dunmore Club who are hosting their first ever Junior Inter Pro.
