Our 1st year rugby girls enjoyed a great day in Portlaoise RFC today for their first North Midlands Blitz against teams from Ardscoil Na Trioniode, Naas, St Kevin's, Maynooth and Confey Community Colleges. The girls really enjoyed the games and developed their new skills throughout the day. We had trys from Beth Joyce, Laylah McHolmes, Ella Kehoe and Hannah Coleman. Some lovely inside passes from Caelainn O'Mullane gained us yards in our attacking play and excellent touch defence from Mila Tuhakaraina and Meabh O'Mahony saw HFSS turn over possession on a number of occasions. Fantastic display of hard work from the girls, most of whom are new to the game!
Thanks to Portlaoise RFC for hosting and Leinster Rugby for organising the event.
