Congratulations to Adrian D’arcy and Jordan Coghlan on their selection for the Ireland Under 19 World Cup Squad who travel to New Zealand next year. It’s a fantastic achievement for the lads and great for the club to have two home grown players selected in the squad of 15. We wish them both the very best of luck!
