"We're really looking forward to getting started on the 30th," said Kilbride. "The level of talent coming through gets better and better, year after year. With the U16s, U18s and U20s having such successful campaigns over the last few years, and a lot of those same players being available this year, to go along with the abundance of talent around the country at the moment, it's such an exciting time to be involved. We've got some really ambitious goals we'll be setting for ourselves. It will obviously be a massive challenge, but one we can’t wait to begin."
