Team FRU made their first appearance at the Midland Midnight Sevens last weekend. They may not have won a game (boo, hiss) but they did push three experienced sides all the way in the Women’s Open competition. 

Sponsored by Huge Rugby, the team certainly looked the part in their new kit designed by team captain Brittany Hogan and despite being the youngest team in the competition, by some margin, they produced an exciting brand of rugby as they set about Scottish select side Red Kites and AIL teams Railway Union and Cooke RFC Women with some gusto. 

The team, which was expertly managed by veteran Aishling O’Connell, contained only three players with regular AIL experience and the fact that they only lost two of the games by the odd try and one by a conversion was a remarkable achievement for the novice team. 

Team FRU: Hannah Beattie, Enya Breen, Ella Durkan, Brittany Hogan (c), Vicky Irwin,
