Maurice Crowley, General Manager, AIB said: "We are delighted, as sponsors of the Club International to be able to showcase the club game at this highest level. We believe that it’s a fantastic initiative that allows our dedicated club players receive this greatest honour, and we look forward to it becoming a regular fixture in the club and International calendar."
Gary Parker, head coach of the Scotland Club International team, said: “The advent of professionalism has meant for many players it became simply a pipedream to think of playing for their country – a dream out of their reach. Now there’s a massive opportunity. When I was a player I wanted to play for Scotland. As a coach I want to coach Scotland. This for me is all about giving a group of players the chance to represent Scotland.”
Tickets are available at the gate.
