Enya Breen of Munster during the Vodafone Women's Interprovincial launch
A 32-player Munster squad has been named ahead of this month’s Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship.
Munster’s Interpro campaign gets underway this Saturday, August 10 with the visit of Ulster to Virgin Media Park while Fiona Hayes’ side will host Leinster at the same venue a week later on Saturday August 17.
A week later, Munster travel to Galway to take on Connacht at Dexcom Stadium on Saturday, August 24. A Finals Day will be held on Saturday, August 31 at the Kingspan Stadium in Belfast.
In addition to the 32 selected, seven Development players have also been named with these players set to train with the senior squad throughout the summer and gain valuable experience.
Across the 32-player squad, there are 9 uncapped players, many of whom are coming up from representing Munster U18 in recent seasons.
Chloe Pearse, who has 29 senior appearances for Munster, will captain the squad throughout the campaign while Aoife Corey has been named as vice-captain.
Unfortunately, Maeve Óg O’Leary has been ruled out of the campaign due to injury.
