Leinster Match

The under-10 girls' rugby team from Mullingar had a day to remember when they attended a Leinster Rugby match against Treviso at the RDS. It was a day filled with excitement and joy as, for many of the young players, it was their first experience of a live Leinster game. The occasion was made even sweeter by Leinster's impressive win, finishing the game with a score of 48-17 over Treviso.

The highlight of the week for the Mullingar girls was not just watching the match but having the opportunity to meet several Leinster rugby stars earlier in the week. This memorable encounter took place during a live training session that Leinster held at Mullingar Rugby Club, providing the girls with inspiration and heroes to look up to.

Despite concerns about the weather, the day was largely unaffected by the rain, ensuring that the girls and their supporters enjoyed the match to the fullest. The logistical effort to make this day happen was significant, with 10 buses transporting the enthusiastic young fans from Mullingar to the venue, underscoring the community's strong support for its youth and sports programmes.

Adding to the day's enjoyment was a visit to Supermac's on the way home, a treat that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The outing was supported by a dedicated group of parents and coaches, whose efforts made the entire experience possible. Their commitment to nurturing the girls' passion for rugby and team spirit is truly commendable.

The Mullingar Rugby Club is deeply appreciative of everyone who contributed to making the trip a success. It was a great day out that will be remembered fondly, and the club looks forward to returning to training next Saturday with renewed enthusiasm and dedication. This event not only provided the girls with a fun and exciting day but also reinforced the values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship, essential qualities both on and off the pitch.
