Rugby for All Women
Women's rugby at Roscrea RFC has flourished since its revival in 2017. We offer inclusive teams for ages 7 to 16 (U8, U10, U12, U14, and U16), welcoming both complete beginners and experienced players. Our focus is on skill development, teamwork, and enjoyment in a friendly, supportive environment.
We have strengthened our competitive play by partnering with Birr RFC at U14 and U16 levels to form the Ravens, creating combined teams to participate in the Leinster Girls Youth League. This collaboration provides excellent coaching and competitive opportunities for our players.
