Ballybofey native hopes to make Irish Six Nations squad after debut

written by Chris McNulty January 23, 2017
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint

BALLYBOFEY WOMAN Laura Feely made her debut for the Ireland senior women’s rugby team yesterday.

Feely came on as a late replacement in the 22-14 loss to Wales at Donnybrook in a warm-up game ahead of the Women’s Six Nations.

Fahan’s Nora Stapleton, a regular starter for the Irish women, scored a try and two conversions, but the Welsh ran out winners by eight points.

Stapleton scored a first-half try while Feely made her bow in the Irish green, the prop having impressed playing with Galwegians and Connacht.

Ireland begin their Six Nations against Scotland on Friday-week in Edinburgh.

Feely, a former athlete with Finn Valley AC, is based in Galway and was Connacht’s player of the year in 2016.

She is the daughter of Frank and Christine Feely.
