🔴⚫️ Ulster U18 Clubs Interprovincial 🔴⚫️

A huge congratulations to our U18 player Olivia, who has been representing Ulster Clubs U18 throughout this summer’s Interprovincial campaign! 👏🏉

Olivia began the campaign by featuring in a friendly against Eira, an American representative team, before lining out for Ulster in their first Interprovincial fixture against Connacht at Malone RFC.

More recently, Olivia travelled to Cork two Saturdays ago to represent Ulster in their second Interprovincial fixture against Munster 🏉

A fantastic achievement and a brilliant experience for Olivia, representing both herself and Carrickfergus RFC at provincial level.

Well done Olivia - everyone at CRFC is incredibly proud of you! ⚫️🔴
