Lansdowne U20s start their Premier 1 League campaign this week with a home fixture versus MU Barnhall on Sunday in HQ.

Another season and another influx of new players to the club. As ever there is an eclectic mix of new talent with players coming from both provincial clubs and schools . This year’s crop come from clubs such as Boyne,Carlow, Tullow, Enniscorthy, Wexford Wanderers and Wicklow along with schools such as Gonzaga, Newbridge, The Kings Hospital, Clongowes Wood, St Gerrards,St.Marys and Rockwell.

It is heartening to see some of our U18s from last year making the squad and thus bridging the gap between youths and 20s. And also good to see Tom Bohan and Louis McGauran, sons of previous Lansdowne stalwarts Enda and Hugh, amongst the newbies.

We wish them all well for the new season.
