26 Munster Clubs Running Give It A Try This Month
6th April 2023 By The Editor
A view of a Give It A Try event held in Ballincollig RFC.
Give It A Try 2023 gets underway across Munster this month with 26 different clubs throughout the province providing girls aged 8-14 the opportunity to play rugby for the first time.
The Give It A Try camps are an eight-week programme run in selected clubs where girls can attend in order to learn how to play rugby in a fun environment.
The programme consists of a coach education element, fun rugby sessions and teaching the girls the basics of rugby. The clubs are responsible for the running of the programme in their area but with Provincial Branch and IRFU assistance.
This year there are over 80 Give It A Try clubs all over Ireland starting their camps from April 17th.
Of those 26 clubs in Munster, two are undertaking the programme for the first time; Cork Constitution FC and Carrigaline RFC.
Please find details below of the clubs in Munster taking part.
