IRVINE AND LEATHEM IN IRELAND U18 CLUB SQUAD

Chris Leathem

Banbridge U18 players Stephen Irvine and Chris Leathem have been included in the 30 man Irish U18 Club squad which will take part in December training sessions.

After Christmas, the interprovincial play-offs at the end of January will also provide a final opportunity for players to impress ahead of the selection of a Combined Provinces side to face Languedoc & Rousillon in Ashbourne Rugby Club in February.

The squad will be whittled down to 26 before heading off to compete in the European Championships in April, to be held in Toulon, France.
