Navan Women’s 2nd XV renewed their fierce rivalry with Tipperary side Roscrea in a tightly contested Paul Cusack Plate 1st Round encounter. Despite a brave performance, the visitors edged out Navan with three tries to two, claiming a narrow 17-10 victory at Balreask Old.

While the result wasn’t in their favour, the Navan squad can hold their heads high. They’ve had an incredible season, finishing as back-to-back League Champions and earning promotion to Division 3, a massive achievement for this growing team.

Best for Navan was Tara Quinn, a standout at blindside flanker, Quinn delivered a commanding performance in defence and at the breakdown.

This Navan Women's 2nd XV squad has shown incredible progress and heart. With promotion secured, they’ll be back even stronger next season, and their story is only just beginning.
