On Sunday, 17th November 2024, five players from the Phoenix Phutures programme took to the field in Spain against a fired-up Spanish team as part of the Great British Lions Under 17 squad.
It was a tight game with GB down at the end of the first half, but bringing it back for the win in the second.
Malachy McMahon was not only one of the captains for the day, but had a perfect day of kicking (three out of three extra points and a 29-yard field goal). And all Phoenix players were integral to the game.
Watching the live stream from the UK it was great to see so many parents had made it to the game but listening to the Spanish pronounce both Malachy's and Jonte's names was definitely a highlight!

Congratulations to all of our amazing players who made the squad after a Britbowl performance for four of them in our U16 team over the Summer. Our Phuture is definitely bright!
