This season has been a trying one for our Senior Women, coaches and managers for a variety of reasons none more so than a lack of game time. Cancellations, concessions and postponements hampered the team throughout the League campaign denying this very young side continuity and important match practice. 

The more experienced campaigners in particular Captain Eadaoin Liddy drew on that very experience to keep the new members of the squad primed and ready for match days. In the latter part of the season additional strength and skill was introduced to the team with newcomers to rugby joining via a “give it a try” campaign and to everyone’s delight our latest recruits took to the sport like ducks to water and made the last of the league matches enjoyable for everyone.

So onto tomorrow and the Paul Flood Cup Quarter Final

We play fellow Division 2 opponents Clondalkin. An interesting pairing as the teams have been inseparable throughout the year, having drawn 24 apiece in the season opener and only 2 points separated the sides in the league finishing 5th and 6th. 

To suggest this will be a cracking match is an understatement as both sides will be very keen to advance to the last 4. There is a palpable excitement amongst the squad in particular the many younger team members who will debut in this prestigious competition last won by our double winning side of 2015/16. 

The team is ready to give everything and invite you to get behind them at the Park kicking off at Midday. We look forward to seeing you
