Mere is coming!

We 're honoured to be visited by Mere Baker (pronounced "Midi") tomorrow and for the next two Thursdays.  Mere will be coaching the Girls Squad from 4.30 until 5.30 on Thursday October 10, 17 and 24.  Of course anyone who wants to leave at 5.00 can go but being coached by someone of Mere's calibre and experience is a pretty big deal and we would urge everyone to take full advantage of this opportunity.

This is a great opportunity for the girls as Mere is a former New Zealand Senior Player and is a World Cup winner, as well as a six-time winner of the Hong Kong SEVENS Tournament, the most prestigious sevens rugby tournament in the world.  She's also the only female Level 2 qualified coach in Ireland.  So, Mere is a big deal, and her coming out to coach in St Mac Dara's is also a big deal!

She's the nicest scary person you'll ever meet!
