First Class Rivals
First Class Rivals showcases the unique trait that sees team composition (unlike in club and county championships) determined by place of learning, not place of birth - allowing traditional rivals to form the most unexpected of alliances.
Deep, traditional rivalries are put aside; fierce inter-county foes become friends; competitors become comrades. When the best club and county players from every corner of the country, line out in their college or university jerseys to play and win together. Join the conversation using #FirstClassRivals
