Connacht Rugby will host Ulster for a double-header at U18 and U19 level in The Sportsground on Saturday. Mayo clubs are well represented in both squads with eleven players from Ballina, Castlebar, Westport and Claremorris hoping to see action.
The U18s get things underway at 1pm with Castlebar's Michael Donnelly named at tight-head prop, while Westport's Rory Lyons and Ballina's Oisin McNicholas will look to attack and defend from the back row.
There are three Mayo players in the replacements too with Christopher Cusack from Castlebar and Ballina duo Brian Donohoe and Billy Ruane looking to make their mark when introduced.
Mayo players feature in the U19 squad too with Ballina's Blayze Molloy named in the second row and four more in the replacements – Sean Hopkins from Ballina, Westport's Conall Gill, Daniel Noone from Claremorris and Castlebar's Patrick Flannelly.
The squads have been working hard over the summer and head coaches Sean Skehan and Morgan Codyre are looking forward to seeing their charges in action on home soil on Saturday. Entry to both games is free.
