The Countdown to the start of the Connacht Junior League is now almost over and training is going well. Just to remind everyone that the season starts away to Tuam on the 25^th of September. The team have had some good work outs so far against Ashbourne and Longford and are looking forward to the start of the season. The Club’s first home game is against UCG on the second of October. Training continues on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

Training will commence on Saturday evening at 6pm and the call has gone out to all those interested in playing rugby, getting fit and having fun to come out and be part of the fastest growing game around. Training is at Cloondeash and all are welcome.

Training for the Under 14 and under 16 teams will start next Wednesday at the clubhouse at 7.30pm. all players are asked to attend as we have to start preperations for the new season. training for the under 18 team is ongoing but will change to twice a week from next Tuesday. Players will be informed about the new details at training.

The season is now truly underway and training continues every Saturday morning from 11am at the clubhouse. There are several blitzs taking place throughout Connacht this season and all the news will feature every week in the local media so keep an eye on the papers and an ear to the radio for latest news.

Congrats to Paul Coady, Tadgh Kirby, Darren Claasen and Coach Leon Jordaan for their involvement with the Connacht Junior team this season. Sadly Connacht were beaten by Munster in their final interprovincial on Saturday but it is hoped that the experience will stand for the new season.
