Monaghan u15 boys are travelling to France in September to play a number of French teams in the Montpellier region of Languedoc. The club is organising some events to support the team and the trip.
The team flies out on the 26th of September to Carcassonne playing their first game that evening against Agde. They will be hosts of the Yves Michel Mayor of Marseillan that night whose councillor for youth sport, is organising an itinerary for the team. The second game takes place on Sunday morning against Pezenas with a return flight Monday the 29th. Travelling Monaghan support would be brilliant. Ryanair also do flights to Beziers, very close by.
