IRFU Schoolgirls Sevens Screening

Congratulations to Katie McGowan, Caoimhe Guerin, Lisa Callan, Rebekah Hayden, Kelly Walsh and Sorcha Kampff who were all invited to take part in the IRFU Schoolgirls Sevens screening day.
Here come the girls!
It's a great recognition of their hardwork and their commitment to their favourite sport over the last few years.  It was a really tough day, with some intensive drills and exercises taking place, all under the watchful eye of Jenny Bagnall (Leinster Women's development officer).  The coaches assigned on the day were the Leinster Rugby coaching development staff, so not only were the girls being provided with the best guidance available, they were also being treated the same way as the boys would be.  As it should be.

It was a tough day, but ultimately really enjoyable.  The girls all had a blast, met up with some friends from other schools and clubs, and got a chance to show how good they are and how much they enjoy playing rugby.

Thanks to Kelly's mum, Anita, for taking the photos of the girls.
