Eagle Impact Teams Revel in Ireland Tour

There's a heavy representation from West Houston, which is a fast-improving team in Texas. Also heavily-represented in the U16s is the Charlotte Tigers, a team that finished 8th out of 8 in Tier II of the HS National Championships, but with a very young squad. Five players in EIRA"s U16 team, a signal that the Tigers will be baring their claws for a few years to come.  In this game the U17s will be playing the Ulster U18s and the EIRA U16s will play Ulster's U17s.
