Skurr Names Women’s Sevens Squad

Ireland Women’s Sevens Head Coach John Skurr has named his squad to participate in the IRB women’s world sevens in Dubai this Thursday, 28th November, which sees six girls involved from Munster clubs.

Tralee RFC will be represented by Connacht’s Christine Arthurs along with Munster players Siobhan Barrett and Laura O’Mahony.

Munster’s Anna Caplice and Claire Keohane from UL Bohemian have also been named on the squad along with UCC dual status player Alison Miller.

Ireland booked their place on the World Series circuit for the first time after reaching the Cup quarter-finals at the Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament in Moscow back in June.
