Our first fixture of the 2012/2013 season took place in Shamrock Lodge in awful conditions, very cold weather and an almost constant rain. After a mid morning start in miserable conditions, the Boyne Girls braced themselves for a Tag blitz against the Ratoath and Suttonions Girls tag teams. There was great excitement despite the conditions and all teams played extremely well.
The Girls' Tag team is for players, just girls aged from 6 to 13

The girls from Boyne's mini's section took part in the first competitive girls rugby fixture to take place at mini's level in Leinster on Saturday 17<sup>th</sup> January. On a blustery morning in Dundalk the girls played three matches against their Dundalk counterparts, winning two of the games. The excitement for the players, coaches and parents was evident on their faces and hopefully from this small beginning we can help build province wide girls tag rugby competitions.
