Our senior squad returned to training on Monday as pre-season for the upcoming campaign began with the countdown now on for our fixtures against Wasps and Bristol next month.
Decked out in the new training kit, which will be available in Elverys Sports stores from July 20, there were a number of new faces settling in with the squad over the last three days.
Scrum-half James Mitchell, prop Peter McCabe and second row Gavin Thornbury have all been training along with Academy graduates Conor McKeon (scrum-half), Cormac Brennan (utility back) and Pat O’Toole (hooker).
Today, a number of the squad will be out among our local clubs with 12 senior players visiting Connacht Rugby Summer Camps, sponsored by Galway Free Range Eggs.
Two fixtures are lined up in August and Season Ticket holders for the 2017/18 season have free access to the pre-season fixture against Bristol at the Sportsground on Saturday, August 26 (3pm).
That game will be new coach Kieran Keane’s first home game at the helm with Pat Lam leading the opposition and tickets will be available to purchase shortly with a high demand expected.
Prior to that clash, Connacht travel to the Ricoh Arena on Wednesday, August 23, to take on Premiership runners-up Wasps.
