Munster U18 Girls Ready For Action

4th April 2008 By Munster Rugby

Anna Caplice has been a lifelong Munster fan, and now has the chance of emulating Messrs Quinlan and O'Callaghan in representing her country at a World Cup

The Munster Under-18 Girls team are set to play a top regional selection from England this Sunday at Cork Institute of Technology (kick-off 3pm).

The Munster side face a selection from the East Midlands in their opening match of the season.

Over the coming months the side will also play Leinster who are fielding for the first time at this level.

The U18 provincial season, which is relatively in its infancy, reflects the growth of the women’s game at underage level across Ireland.

The Munster captain this year is Anna Caplice from Mallow RFC and she met last week with Munster stars Donncha O’Callaghan and Alan Quinlan to mark the start of the provincial campaign.
