In advance of the Ladies Rugby World Cup, which takes place between 9^th to 26^th August this year, the winner’s trophy will be making a welcome visit to Donegal as part of the Girls Active celebration event which takes place at the Aura Leisure Centre Wednesday 22^nd March.
Donegal has been well represented in ladies international rugby over the past number of years, with Larissa Muldoon and Nora Stapleton as regular starters and Katie Norris and Laura Feely have made some appearances in recent friendly games.
Ireland will have three tough opening games in the tournament in August against Australia, Japan and France taking place in Dublin.
