Ulster Schools' team not in the running in Interprovincials at the weekend

The Ulster Schools’ team were not in the race for honours when the Interprovincials took place over the weekend at the AUL Complex, Dublin.

Ulster lost their opening games to Leinster and Munster before drawing their final game on Sunday against Connacht.

They lost out by 1-0 to Leinster on Friday and by 4-0 to eventual champions, Munster, on Saturday. On Sunday, they drew 1-1 with Connacht  thanks to an exceptional free kick from
