Reilly to captain Connacht Eagles in IRFU 'A' Interprovincial Championship fixture

Published:

Ballinasloe native Colm Reilly will captain the Connacht Eagles in their IRFU 'A' Interprovincial Championship meeting with Ulster 'A' at Creggs RFC tomorrow (kick-off, 3pm).

From Creagh, the promising scrum half is a former Buccaneers player and a past pupil of Garbally College.

Reilly was a prominent performer on the Ireland U20 rugby team which won the Grand Slam in the 2019 Six Nations.

Buccaneers will also have representation in the forwards as Brideswell's Niall Murray is listed to start, while John Devine (son of former Buccaneer's player Mike) is primed for a midfield berth in what should be an intriguing fixture.
