Croghan woman named vice captain of Leinster U18 rugby team
A TALENTED Croghan woman has been named as the vice captain of the Leinster U18 ladies rugby team.
Muireann Foy is the daughter of Sarah and Anthony Foy. Anthony Foy was a long serving St Brigid’s footballer and Muireann is following in his footsteps.
She also plays ladies football with Rhode and plays her rugby with Mullingar RFC. She has made great progress in rugby in the past couple of years, coming through a very competitive Leinster trials process to make the squad.
Muireann lined out in Challenge Games against Welsh and American opposition. Her performance earned her the starting jersey at Number 6 for Leinster with victories over Ulster and Munster. They have two more fixtures to come including a showdown with Connacht next Saturday and the Interprovincial Final on 30th August
