GIRLS SCHOOLS’ CUP UPDATE
DANSKE BANK GIRLS SCHOOLS’ CUP
KICKS OFF THIS WEEK
The Danske Bank Girls Schools’ Cup regional qualifiers took
place this week, featuring a remarkable 60 teams.
The competition has grown from strength
to strength in recent years, thanks in part to
the success of Ireland Women in winning
the Grand Slam in March 2013. Since then,
Ulster Rugby has employed three dedicated
Female Rugby Officers, funded by the
Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure, who
have developed the game in traditional and
non-traditional rugby schools.
Enniskillen Collegiate (pictured below) will
be hoping to defend their title after beating
Grosvenor Grammar School 10-7 in last
year’s final.
The quarter finals will take place between
9-13th March. The final is scheduled for
Kingspan Stadium on 24th March.
