RUGBY: ATU Connacht Age Grade Squads Announced

The Connacht U17, U18 and U19 squads, sponsored by ATU, have been announced for this summer’s training programme and Interpro series.

The U18 and U19 squads will train together at Atlantic Technological University over the course of July and August as they prepare for their respective Interprovincial Championships later in the summer.

Meanwhile the U17 programme will focus on further skill development and athletic conditioning. They will also train at ATU and will have a number of challenge games scheduled, with further details to be announced shortly.
