<p><strong>The Killarney RFC U18.5 girls team are in pre-season mode and they laid down a marker for the upcoming season with an impressive 54-24 victory over Ballincollig.</strong></p>



<p>Killarney fielded a relatively inexperienced side in the challenge match at a sun-drenched Tanner Park but they started strongly with tries by Ali O’Donoghue and&nbsp; Bronagh Dorrian.</p>



<p>Some excellent play by Orna Driver set up the score of the day by Katie O’Donoghue,&nbsp; who went on a super run and fended off a number of opponents before touching down. The try was duly converted by Fia Whelan.</p>



<p>The try scorers were: Fia Whelan, Ali O’Donoghe, Bronagh Dorrian x 2, Lilly Morris x 2, Molly Jenkinson and Katie O’Donoghue with seven conversations from both Whelan and Dorrian.</p>



<p>“It was fantastic to have the girls back out playing a match,” joint coach Diarmuid O’Malley said. “Some of the rugby the girls played was of the highest standard.”</p>



<p>“We are very excited with the number of girls playing rugby at the club and we want to encourage anyone who is thinking of giving it a try to pop up on a Wednesday evening at 7pm. U14, U16 and U18.5 players all welcome.”</p>
