Connacht's Pro12 winning heroes return to Kildare next month for a special skills school

Stars of Connacht rugby are due to return to Kildare next month for their now annual skills school that helps to encourage young players to start playing the game, while also giving some unique coaching a fun environment.

Fresh from shocking the rugby world by winning the Pro12 title last year, captain John Muldoon, scrumhalf Kieran Marmion and prop Denis Buckley will all feature at the Mazda & Connacht Rugby Clinic in Carton House on Sunday October 9.

The event is being run in conjunction with Mazda, who are once again the main sponsors to Connacht Rugby for the 2016/17 season.

There will be part of the Connacht team management and other selected players there on the day too, while the adults will be treated to the opportunity of driving cars from the new 162 Mazda range.
