Leinster claim Interpros

Leinster's under 16 and 18s have both won their respective interprovincial championships, with the under 18 side completing the tournament unbeaten. The 18s, consisting of nine St Andrews players, took the title with a 2-0 win over Ulster on Sunday morning and a 3-3 draw with Munster later in the afternoon. They won the tournament on goals scored, after finishing level with Ulster on points and goal difference. Corinthian's Brian Doherty ended the series top scorer with four.

The 16s secured their title with 4-2 (over Ulster) and 4-1 (over Munster) victories on the final day. Richard Sykes top scored with six goals out of a total of fifteen scored in their four match series.

The under 18 girls, meanwhile, took their Interpro title after a final game victory over Ulster in Belfast. Goals Alison Meeke and Hannah Matthews gave the Leinster side a 3-1 victory to bag the title.

Congratulations to both InterPro teams on their wins. Great to see the title coming back to Leinster at U16 & U18 level after many years of Ulster & Munster successes.
Well done to Coaches, Managers and Players!
