Highfield Ladies in this year's 6 Nations Tournament:
Phillip Doyle, head coach of the Irish women's team, has selected 3 Highfield players in his match day 22 ahead of their Six Nation's opener against Wales on Friday night in Ashbourne RFC. Experienced international Laura Guest, retains the no. 6 jersey from last year's campaign and forms part of an experienced back row alongside UL Boh's Joy Neville and Bristol's Claire Molloy.
Highfield newcomer Ali Miller (DS) has been named on the wing and the Laois native will be hoping for plenty of opportunities to display her speed and strength against the Welsh. Heather O'Brien has been unlucky to lose out on the second row spot to Exile Sophie Spence but will no doubt be battling hard to reclaim the jersey that she fought so hard for in last year's Six Nations.
Finally, Highfield out half Helen Brosnan was desperately unlucky to suffer a knee injury in Ireland's final training session last weekend to rule her out of Friday's clash.
Highfield RFC would like to wish Laura, Heather and Alison the very best of luck on Friday night and a speedy recovery to Helen Brosnan.
Ireland v Wales, Friday February 3rd, Ashbourne RFC, KO 7.30PM.
STATEMENT OF BOYNE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB:
Boyne Rugby Football Club wish to confirm that the citation made by it on 13th December 2011 arising from the Boyne RFC v Highfield RFC match on 10th December 2011 has been withdrawn by Boyne RFC.
While Boyne RFC originally believed there was sufficient evidence for the citing of a Highfield player, it now confirms that in the intervening period a review has taken place of additional evidence, including a high definition video provided by Highfield RFC, as a result of which Boyne RFC are satisfied that the Highfield player cited did not contribute in any way to the serious injury suffered by its player, Mr Eoin Collins.
Boyne RFC would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the cited player for the distress and inconvenience which the citation has inevitably caused him and his Club.
Boyne RFC would like to take this opportunity to thank the IRFU and the officials of Highfield RFC for the professional manner in which this entire issue has been dealt with.
Boyne RFC and Highfield RFC would like to take this opportunity to wish the injured player, Eoin Collins, well.
