Eagles fixtures for 2015/16 confirmed

The Connacht Eagles, sponsored by NUI Galway, will open their 2015/16 campaign with a trip North to play Ulster Ravens on Saturday October 10^th at Belfast Harlequins. The Eagles were successful in both meetings with the Ulster side last season and will hope to continue that record.

The first home game sees Munster ‘A’ visit the Sportsground in Galway for a 5pm kick off on the main pitch on Thursday October 22^nd. Nigel Carolan’s side will then make a trip to Donnybrook in Dublin to play two-time British & Irish Cup champions Leinster ‘A’.

The B&I Cup cross-border competition, now in its seventh year, has the Eagles side pitted in pool 5 with Newport Gwent Dragons Premiership Select, Doncaster Knights and Jersey RFC.

The Dragons Select side are one of four new Welsh teams to compete in the 2015/16 season to help facilitate the development pathway structure for Welsh rugby and the Eagles will be the first to face the new Welsh opposition in round 1 of the competition taking place at the Sportsground on Saturday 14^th November – the same day that Pat Lam’s side will be taking on Russian side Enisei-STM in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia.
