The 2019/20 Shane Horgan Cup kicks off this week with the first round of fixtures taking place at Cill Dara RFC in the North Midlands area.

Last year’s U16 competition met an exciting finish with both North Midlands and South East representative teams sitting joint top of the table heading into the final round.

The crown eventually went the way of North Midlands for the first time thanks to their 23-8 win over the Midlands area in the final game.

With Metro having a narrow 27-26 victory over South East in the other final round game which proved to be one of the best contests of the competition, that left the North Midlands area sitting alone on top at the close of business.

All sides will be looking to get off to the perfect start on Friday when the action starts.

North Midlands will face Midlands in Round 1’s first game at 6.45pm which is followed by South East and Metro locking horns at 7.45pm.

North East have received a BYE for the first round and will start their campaign in Round 2 against South East on Wednesday, 30 October.
