02 Mar A Special Day at Balreask Old: Women’s Triple Header & Brunch
Sunday 1st March was another landmark occasion for Navan RFC as three Women’s teams lined out at Balreask Old in the Leinster League, all kicking off simultaneously at 1pm in a brilliant showcase of depth and development within the club.
Ahead of the action, Navan RFC hosted a pre-match brunch attended by 80 friends and family members, marking our 6th brunch event in just three years, a fantastic achievement and testament to the growing community around women’s rugby in the club.
We were honoured to welcome special guest Fiona Coghlan, 2013 Grand Slam-winning captain and RTÉ pundit. It was a privilege to have Fiona with us on such a significant day for the club.
A sincere thank you to Straight4 Studios Limited for sponsoring the brunch and supporting this special occasion.
Pictured with Fiona are our senior Celtic Challenge representatives Rosie Searle and Alex Connor, along with two of our Navan Under 18 North-East Sarah Robinson Cup players; Grace McWeeney and Maggie Kerin, highlighting the strong pathway from youth to adult rugby within Navan RFC.
A wonderful day on and off the pitch, one that reflects the continued growth and ambition of women’s rugby at Navan RFC.
