Leinster Rugby v Cardiff Blues

Wicklow Women RFC keeps their
social media channels very active by
introducing some of the members of
the Wicklow Women's squad over the
weeks.
One of the highlights of the Women’s
Team Facebook page every Tuesday
and Thursday night is their Lockdown
Weekly Challenge. This is a strength
and conditioning program presented
in a more fun format in anticipation of
returning to the pitch.
Last week’s challenge was won by
Saoirse O’Reilly who managed over 30
kicks with a rugby ball. Certainly, a very
entertaining and creative way to stay fit
from home!
As part of these preparations for the
resumption of league games and the
anticipated start to the AIL in January,
the two Women’s teams are taking a
pilates session run by Marian Earls
every Wednesday, as well as a HIIT
session with Colin Younger, Strength
and Conditioning classes with Marian,
and a board session with Jason
Moreton.
The team opened this program to all
players and are still welcoming anyone
who might feel they would like to give
rugby a try when the club resumes the
pitch training in the coming weeks.
Also in their spare time, some members
of the Women's team are supporting
the coaches in training the U-14 and
U-16 girls.
There is no doubt the Wicklow
Women’s team are ready to go back
to competition after their hard work in
keeping their players active, connected,
supporting each other, and always
having fun! Staying in touch and
having regular calls has a very positive
impact on the team’s dynamic and
members’ wellbeing.
If you would like to share your news
and stories and how your team stays
connected during these challenging
times, please reach out to womenspro@
