Players join forces to support Ireland WNT

As Katie McCabe and the Ireland WNT stepped up their preparations for the opening game of the FIFA Women’s World Cup against their Australian hosts in Sydney, members of both Rugby Players Ireland and the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) came together to wish the team well.

Rugby players Garry Ringrose, Lucy Mulhall, Eimear Considine, Jenny Murphy and Rugby Players Ireland Chairperson Peter O’Mahony were joined by Vicki Wall (Meath Football), Ashling Thompson (Cork Camogie), Joe Canning (former Galway Hurler) and Aidan O’Shea (Mayo Football) in sending their best wishes while also thanking the squad for the way in which they have paved a path for women’s sport in Ireland.

🙌🏻 Although it may have been a lonely journey at times, it’s been a journey that has changed Irish women’s sport.
