We're delighted to announce that our own Evie Kennedy has been selected for the Ireland U-18 squad ahead of the Six Nations Festival, which will be played over Easter at Wellington College in England.
This is another wonderful step forward on Evie's sparkling rugby journey and all of us in Heffernan Park can barely contain our excitement. It is a wonderful and deserved honour for Evie, her family and the coaches who worked alongside her over the years.
The U-18 Festival is the annual championship played out between the six nations and Ireland will play two full matches and two 35-minute games over the week, beginning with a clash with France this Thursday at 2.15pm.
The action will be carried live on irishrugby+ and the Six Nations U-20 YouTube channel.
Best of luck to Evie and all the Irish squad and management. We will be watching with great pride.
