The Ireland Colleges & Universities international team return to action with a game against the French Universities on Wednesday, December 17th.

The International Friendly will take place in Athlone Town Stadium and will follow on from the team’s first run-out under Head Coach Paul O’Reilly when they faced the Defence Forces team.

For this fixture, O’Reilly will be selecting from a squad made up of players attached to League of Ireland clubs, including Oran Crowe who featured in this year’s Sports Direct Men’s FAI Cup Semi-Final for Kerry against Shamrock Rovers.
