These are heady days for rising Buccaneers starlets KAILIN BLESSING and ANDREW HENSON who have been named in the Ireland U-18 Clubs squad for a two-match series away to Italy next week. Ireland will play at Eugenio Municipal Stadium on Wednesday, October 30th, and then at Gianni Visentin Municipal Stadium on Saturday, November 2nd.
Kailin played at centre-back for Tubberclair in their recent Westmeath Minor Division One Football Championship final victory over Mullingar Shamrocks while Andrew featured in the half-forward line for Garrycastle as they triumphed over The Downs in the Division Two decider.
Another Buccs regular, SEAN GLENNON from Ballinasloe, is also selected. We wish the trio every success in these international fixtures.
