Limerick players named in Ireland underage squads for Christmas camps

Castletroy College's Evan O'Connell, in action here against Glenstal Abbey, is included in the Ireland U18s Schools squad for a three-day Christmas camp

SEVERAL Limerick players have been included in the Ireland U18 Schools, Ireland U18 Clubs and Schools and Ireland U19 squads to attend a three day camp planned for December 28-30 at the IRFU’s High Performance Centre on the Sports Ireland Campus.

The squads attended camps in late October with the Ireland U18 Clubs playing a fixture against their Italian counterparts in Treviso. A lot of these players would have featured in the PwC Underage Interprovincial Series in August while 15 players across the three squads were not involved in those series of games.

The Ireland U19s squad will be coached by Kieran Hallett (head coach), Andrew Browne (assist. coach) and Mark Butler (assist. coach). 

The Ireland U18s Schools squad will be coached by Paul Barr (head coach) and Andi Kyriacou (assist. coach) while the U18 Clubs and Schools squad will be coached by Fiach O’Loughlin (head coach) and Jonathon Graham (assist. coach).

There are 40 National Talent Squad players selected across the three squads.
