About this listen

Join me for a great conversation about the future of girls' rugby in Ireland with the team behind Old Crescent RFC's "Give It A Try" initiative.


This special episode explores how the club is opening doors for girls aged 8-14 to discover rugby in a supportive, fun environment.

  • I sat down with Claire Marty Crowe, official coordinator of the GIAT program, who explains the vision behind this growing initiative.
  • Tracey Duggan, coach at Old Crescent RFC, shares practical insights about how sessions are structured to welcome complete beginners while fostering skills development.
  • Peter Shelley, Chairman of Minis and Youths, rounds out the conversation with the club's broader commitment to youth rugby development.


Whether you're a parent considering rugby for your daughter, a coach interested in growing participation, or simply a rugby enthusiast, this episode highlights the positive impact the sport can have on young girls' confidence, teamwork skills, and physical well-being.
