Girls Secondary School Rugby Blitz At CIT

The Munster Rugby U15 and U18 Secondary School Blitz kicked off this week at CIT with over 100 girls from all over the province taking part.

The students competed in 10 a-side rugby with each team playing a minimum of three games on the day.

There were a number of returning schools to the competition such as Pobal Scoil Beanntraí and Coláiste Ide Dingle who were joined by new comers Ard Scoil Na Mara and John The Baptist Hospital on the day.

Speaking at the Blitz Women’s Community Rugby Officer Amanda Greensmith said “its great to see new schools coming on board which is showing continuous growth in the women’s game.

“Hopefully today’s blitz will encourage the girls to go down to their local club and continue to participate in rugby.”

Munster Rugby will be holding a further Girls Schools Blitz in November. For further details please email info@munsterrugby.ie
