This weekend will mark the beginning
of the first-ever Super Series, a new
programme designed to provide
15-a-side playing opportunities for U16
and U18 girls.
Local clubs who don’t currently have the
playing numbers have been grouped
together on a regional basis, with Ulster
Rugby staff facilitating joint training
sessions and matches.
The objective of the Super Series is to
grow the profile of girls’ rugby through
providing regular match opportunities,
eventually increasing the playing numbers
of the clubs involved.
There will also be development
opportunities for the club coaches, as they
can observe the sessions led by Ulster
Branch staff.
Ulster Rugby Development Staff will also
use these sessions to identify individuals
with potential, and help them to progress
along the player pathway.
In total, six sides will take part in the Super
Series this season, with games taking place
every two weeks.
Enniskillen and Virginia will compete as
standalone teams, while 25 clubs will form
the four regional sides:
Eastern Panthers
Ards, Ballynahinch, Bangor, Cooke,
Donaghadee and Malone
North East Lightning
Ballymena, Ballymoney, Carrick, Larne,
Ophir, Rainey and Randalstown
North West Eagles
City of Derry, Finn Valley, Inishowen,
Letterkenny and Limavady
Southern Stars
Banbridge, City of Armagh, Dungannon,
Lurgan, Monaghan, Newry and Portadown
The Series kicks off this Sunday 10 October.
