Munster U18 Girls Squad Confirmed For Leinster Clash

The Munster U18 Girls squad has been named ahead of their U18 Interprovincial Series opener against Leinster at Irish Independent Park this Saturday (kick-off 12.30pm).

The U18 Interpro Series kicks-off this weekend alongside the Women’s Interpro Championship as part of a new double-header feature from the IRFU, which sees Munster Women take on Connacht at the Cork venue (kick-off 2.30pm).
