Tadgh McElroy
Dundalk RFC’s U-17 captain Tadgh McElroy has been called up to the Irish Youth squad for their forthcoming matches against France and England
The teenager, who has played for the Mill Road outfit since U-7 level, was called into the squad after being approached by Irish Youth team head coach Wayne Mitchell at a recent Leinster Youths training session in Dublin.
Tadgh was part of the North East team, who won the Shane Horgan trophy last year. Indeed, he caught the eye so much at hooker that he and fellow Dundalk teammate Stephen McGivern were promoted to the Leinster Youth Development Squad.
There will be a familiar face in the Irish Youth panel with Ardee man Neil Reilly, who plays with the Ardee/Dundalk U-19s team, the country’s captain at that level.
