The Leinster/Hornsey (Middlesex league) U-12 series of games ended at one a piece following Leinster’s win in the second game held at Railway Union.
The two games were played at a very high standard and was a great experience for all the boys involved. Another productive link has been established with an English club/school who are already making plans to return to Dublin for a series of games next season.
