Well done Niamh McSherry!

On Saturday Navan RFC hosted a blitz for the girls underage teams, inviting Barnhall, Mullingar and Dundalk RFC’s and the WRWC was there on hand as well!  The weather conditions were horrendous, despite that Navan RFC won all their games and Niamh was one of the try scorers!
On Sunday they packed up their kit to attend a World Cup Tournament in the IRFU Training Camp grounds at Carton House.  There were three clubs invited from each province to represent a nation attending the Womens RWC.  Navan RFC U12 Girls were invited to represent France and they comprehensively won all their games.  They were described by Niamh Briggs (Captain) as “… savage.  The best U12’s team I have ever seen…!” 
Below is a link to the official IRFU video of the World Cup tournament on Sunday - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9EZ8UzVQc&feature=youtu.be
