    I thought you might have had a link. Are they playing the Portugese U18 side is it? Do you know what day the fixture is for?

    Lots of "traditional" strong youths clubs listed as well as a few who havent had players at this level in some time.
    Will be interesting to see what games this side will play into 2017 as would be a shame for their not to be a proper ireland u18 team this season like there has been for past few years

    What do you mean a proper ireland u18 team?

    Only last year was there combined teams.

    Before that there was two Ireland u18 teams - both club and schools.

    A full strength under 18 team where the best are chosen. A mix of those who play in the non exempt schools and those in clubs and other schools.

    No offence to Portugal but why are we playing Portugal?

    Why not? Its only a game in November. Squad only met up and trained together for first time a few weeks ago. They will get tougher tests against other sides in the New year when they'll probably be playing the usual English, French teams they play every year


  • Registered Users Posts: 279 ✭✭MrJones2013


    Anyone got a report on this? Even scorers etc?

    Not Pan Munster any more...... but good to see plenty of competition still left in quite a few groups.
    A lot of the regulars appearing so far but good to see a few new names/irregular clubs.

    What do you mean by not Pan Munster anymore? Have they done away with it?

    If it's still going ahead is the second round of games straight knockout or will there be a second group stage like last season?

    Its not officially Pan Munster in terms of marketing/promo. Competition is marketed and termed differently on munster website.
    Like branch want clubs to use various different words not pan munster to promote the cup, plate and bowl.
    There is still a second group stage but simply isnt to be called pan munster
