Cill Dara's Áine Donnelly is among 10 uncapped players selected for the Irish Women's Squad ahead of the November Test with England.

The Ireland Women's squad to play England in a much-anticipated autumn Test at the Twickenham Stoop next month has been named. Ireland Women's head coach Tom Tierney has included ten players who are uncapped at this level including Cill Dara Rugby Club’s Áine Donnelly.

The girls in green, who recently held an open training session at Kingspan Stadium, will take on their English counterparts at the Twickenham Stoop on Saturday, November 14 (kick-off 3pm).

Speaking ahead of the game, Tierney said: "We are looking forward to the game in November. It's the first time we have played an autumn international which is another step in the development of Women's rugby. We have an opportunity to have a look at some new players and combinations, building towards the Six Nations."

All in Cill Dara RFC wish Áine and the Irish women well in the upcoming season. Aíne achievements can only act as an inspiration for all the girls in the club, from mini’s up to our U.15 and U.18 squads.
