Lansdowne lead recruitment drive for AIL Division 1A campaign

It’s been a typically hectic off-season in player movement among the Division 1A clubs in the Energia All-Ireland League, be it prized players from last season’s schools cup competitions or stalwarts of the club game forming new allegiances or renewing old ones.

The coaching tickets have remained largely settled, save for Rhys Ruddock being promoted from assistant coach to head coach at Lansdowne, while Hugh Hogan has become head coach at Belvo with Quenton O’Neale concentrating on his director of rugby role.
