Maher Named As New Lansdowne Captain

Alan Maher, the club’s Player of the Year last year, has been announced as the Lansdowne club captain for 2007/08.

Second row Maher takes over the skipper’s role from David Lavin and is well equipped to do so having represented Ireland at Schools, Under-19 and Club international level.

The 26-year-old, a former Connacht player, has started for Ireland in all three of the AIB Club internationals to date – twice against Scotland, and once against England last season.
