The Connacht Women’s Squad have been preparing for the 2018 Interprovincial Series that gets underway on Saturday next when they travel to Irish Independent Park in Cork to face Munster (k/o 2.30pm).
Connacht Women then play two home games – firstly against Leinster on Sunday 9th September (k/o 3pm) followed by the visit of Ulster on Saturday 15th September (k/o 2.30pm). Both games will be played at The Sportsground.
Team Manager Mark Moran has been talking about the squad’s build-up to the upcoming fixtures:
“Preparations for this year’s inter pro series have been going well. Like all years, we have lost some players from last season and also welcomed some exciting new ones. The players and coaches are working together extremely hard and it’s encouraging to see the standards improving every week. As a team, we are all looking forward to the series kicking off in September where we will be hoping for more great support.”
William Davies has been speaking to Captain Grainne Egan, new cap Amelie Roux and assistant coach Brian Murphy.
