Flannery Aiming To Fly High On Summer Series Stage

 

 

There are plenty of young up-and-coming out-halves in Irish Rugby to get excited about for the future, and UL Bohemian and Munster’s Kate Flannery is definitely one of those talents.

 

 

 

Flannery, who hails from the Tipperary village of Bansha, has been selected in the Ireland Under-20 Women’s training squad (sponsored by PwC) that is preparing for the inaugural Six Nations Women’s Summer Series.

 

 

 

The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough season that saw her impress for her province during the Vodafone Interprovincial Championship before continuing that form with UL Bohs whom she helped to win their first Energia All-Ireland League Women’s Division title since 2018.

 

 

 

 

She was also a standout performer in the Celtic Challenge competition with the Clovers, earning herself a call-up to the Ireland squad as a training panellist for the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.

 

 

 

 

Having experienced the senior set-up under Ireland head coach Scott Bemand, many believe it is only a matter of time before she gets her opportunity at Test level. For Flannery, the honour of playing for her country is never lost on her.
