Our own Clara Barrett has been named in the Connacht squad who begin their Vodafone Women's Interprovincial Championship on Saturday at home to Leinster in The Sportsground at 5.15pm.
Irish U-20 international, Clara, will play in the centre alongside Shannon Touhey as they look to make a big impression against a strong Leinster outfit.

Nicole Fowley will captain the side for the first time, the Sligo native is partnered by Aoibheann Reilly in the half back line.

The front row see's Lily Brady on either side Grainne O'Loughlin and Shannon Heapes. In the second row Sonia McDermott is alongside Eva McCormack while Orla Fenton starts in the back row with Tierney and Kiripati.

Joining McGonagle in the back three is Ava Ryder and Meabh Deely.
