COLERAINE Rugby Club is going international.

A group of P6 rugby players from the Mini Rugby section are off to compete in an international mini rugby tournament in the South of France this Easter.
The squad, who will travel with coaches Keith Elliott and Gordy Allen and a small band of supporters, are looking forward to the trip and the main emphasis will be on having a great time.
Coach Keith Elliott told Times Sport: "We are taking a squad of 11 players to the tournament at a club called Six Foursion in the South of France. We travel on the Thursday before Easter and return on the following Tuesday.
"It will be the trip of a lifetime for the boys. We have been invited along with English teams, Scottish teams but we are the only Irish team going.
"We are guaranteed matches during the group stages and hopefully we will make it through to some of the later stages. as well. We are looking forward to the competition but the emphasis for all the squad will be on participation and having fun."
For the minute the boys have been busy fundraising and getting into shape for the big trip.
