Connacht U18 Vs Ulster Youth

Ulster Youth team announced for Saturday's match against Connaught to be played at Sportsground Galway at 1pm

Saturday 19th Jan 2008- 

Sportsground Galway: kick off 1.00 pm 

 

Ulster Youth go into their Inter Provincial Semi- final match against Connaught, with every chance of progressing to the final in Mullingar the following week. After a series of round robin matches played in October, Connaught finished first, with Ulster in 4th position. However, Ulster were very competitive in all matches, and with a little luck would have won against both Leinster and Munster. In the match against Connaught, Ulster narrowly lost by 22-28.

 

With good preparation in recent weeks, including a very competitive match against Glasgow and District last Saturday; the teams, if at their best, are capable of causing an upset.

 

Below is the Ulster team who will meet Connaught on 19th January in Gaway:
