Under 21 Interprovincial Championship.

The Ulster Under-21s, sponsored by Northern Bank, continue their Interprovincial campaign against Connacht, at the Sportsground, Galway on Saturday 24th November, 2001. Kick off will be 12.30pm.

Ulster Branch Chief Executive, Michael Reid commented, “Unfortunately, due to clashes with AIL commitments, the U21s will be missing a few star names.
However, the Ulster Branch are extremely pleased by the positive input of the club coaches who have assisted Charlie McAleese and David Eakin in putting out the best team available. Nevertheless, despite not being at full strength, the match presents opportunities to assess many players for
next season.”

Neil McMillen and Scott Young, who are both eligible to play for the U21s this season have been selected to play for the Senior Ulster Team in this weekend’s friendly encounter with Connacht, also in Galway.
