Munster sides chasing interprovincial glory

Munster will hope to turn potential into silverware at the U16 and U18 interpros at Three Rock Rovers in Dublin this weekend.

Munster teams have regrouped in recent seasons with a couple of high-profile results and second-placed finishes. But none have yet produced the consistency required to win a tournament, something the respective coaches Peter Catchpole (U16) and John McGrath (U18) are keen to put right.

McGrath’s U18s have the most potential on paper, back-boned by seven players who have spent time in Irish underage panels. Julian Dale, who co-captains the side with Alex Deane, is the most experienced of these.
