JUNIOR NEWS
An interesting note from Head Coach Stephen
Huge Congratulations to Josh Van der Flier on being voted "World Rugby's Player of the Year" at an event in Monaco last weekend.
Josh has a very close link with Monkstown LTC - he recently married former member Sophie de Patoul! Sophie's Mum, Liz, is a current member.
Looking forward to seeing your racquet skills in the not too distant future Josh!
Another notable achievement last weekend was Sarah Healy winning the National Women's Cross Country title. It's Sarah's first Senior title - so at the age of 21 it augurs well for her future at Senior level. Congrats Sarah!

U/14s Stars and Stripes
Monkstown u14s won the Shield on Saturday evening against Sandycove! The girls had a fanatastic campaign coming out on top as the Best Girls overall, scoring 129 points in total. They should be very proud of themselves! A big thank you to all the players that took part. And to Diane Woods for managing the boys team & Nicola Roberts for managing the girls team. Great fun & great result all round!
