Connacht Women squad named for Ulster

Connacht Women head coach Emer O’Dowd has named her matchday 23 for tomorrow’s Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship clash against Ulster in the 3rd v 4th final taking place in Kingspan Stadium (k/o 2.00pm).

Edel McMahon starts in the back row and Hannah Clarke starts on the wing while Orla Fenton and Emily Foley are brought onto the bench. 

The young and exciting side will be rearing to get another crack against the Ulster side and will be hoping to take the 3rd place win.

Vice-Captain Ava Ryder says ahead of tomorrow's match:
"I think we're really excited and the buzz at training for the last night of the season is really good. We're all in really fun form but we'll switch on and head into Saturday. Our performance in the second half has been much better than in the first half and we want to build from that and bring everything 100% for the whole game and perform at our best for the last game [of the Interpro series]."
