11th -25th Feb PRO Notes

11.2.2018

Whilst the winter training continues, the U14 Girls took to the outdoors in horrendous conditions on Saturday when they participated in the first Provincial Blitz of the season in Greenford.  With teams from London, Birmingham and Scotland in attendance the girls were unfazed by the inclement circumstances they found themselves in and it was fantastic to see them win all their games including the final.  The management were impressed with their total commitment and the talent displayed especially by the younger U12 players who have just moved up to join the more experienced U14 girls.

 

Our team line out:  Eva O’Rouke, Ciara Moore, Brea Corrigan, Ava Ruddy, Alice O Brien, Daniella Ishmael, Sorcha Moran, Rhianna Roache and Emer Fadian.  Many thanks to the players and parents who turned out and to the organisers for facilitating the event.  A positive start to the new season.  Well done girls.
