Girls are back in town!!!

As the new season starts we welcome back our Girls who have recently taken part in the IRFU Give It A Try Programme, with hopefully more girls joining us this coming season and have started their season with a very energetic, lively first training session.

To kick start the season, we have had it confirmed that one of our Under 12’s will be walking out with the Irish Womens team when they play against Australia in a one off Test match on Saturday 14th September, that will kick start the IRFU 150th anniversary celebrations.  Helena has been chosen from all the GIAT members from the summer within Leinster and according to her parents we have a very happy girl.  We cant wait to see her walk out with her role models.

This season will be the first season where we will have girls members in all our age groups, Under 8, Under 10, Under 12, Under 14 (De La Wes), Under 16 (De La Marys) and Under 18 (Panthers) as we continue to grow.

Our Under 8’s will train with their mixed group on Sunday mornings at Ballycorus from 11.00am to 12.00pm while our Under 10’s and Under 12’s have not only their own session on Tuesday evenings at Wesley College from 7.00pm to 8.00pm but also their mixed training sessions on Thursday (Wesley College) and Sunday (Ballycorus).  Out Under 14’s who have been training for three weeks will continue with the hugely successful De La Wes squad (with DLSP), while our two girls (Isabella and Faith) will join up with the De La Marys squad.  Our one Under 18 (Maya) will join up with the Panthers squad which is Terenure and Suttonians.

Hopefully with more girls joining the club this year we will continue to grow and maintain the enthusiasm and energy that the club is creating for the girls.
