Irish team for European U22 Championships hit by late withdrawal

The Irish team that fly out to Romania today for the European U22 Championships have been hit by a late withdrawal.

Irish Elite runner-up and Under-22 champion Darryl Moran has been forced to pull out of the squad after picking up a hand injury.

Therefore the Illies GG light fly will not make the trip to Eastern Europe for the revival of the tournament.

The remaining nine members of Team Ireland travel to Romania from Dublin Airport later this afternoon.
