There were girls from a number of local schools including Thurles, Presentation and Ursuline Thurles as well as those who had travelled from Carrigaline Community College and Abbeyfeale Convent and Vocational School.

Over the course of the day the girls played a number of games showing plenty of skill and determination keeping all the teachers and parents present well entertained.

A number of girls who attended the event have since expressed interest in joining their local rugby clubs to increase their participation in the sport.

There are two more blitz days planned in the coming week – Limerick at Shannon RFC on Friday 4th February and Cork at CIT on Wednesday 9th February. Should you require any further information please contact Women’s CRO Amanda Greensmith at amandagreensmit@munsterrugby.ie
