Women: Stacey Lea Kennedy – An Ulster Girl in Heart and Soul

by

,

Following the recent announcement of the Ulster Women’s Interprovincial Squad we are delighted to confirm that  City of Derry stalwart, Ulster and Irish International, Stacey Lea Kennedy, will be Captain for the series and there could be no better candidate in our opinion.

We said back in 2010 after her call up to Ireland :  “[Kennedy] was one of Ulster’s stand out players in the Inter-Provincials with her hard tackling and strong ball carrying skills allowing her to switch seamlessly between hooker and wing forward. Definitely one of the “characters” of the Ulster Squad, Stacey has shown great determination and commitment and the Derry girl will be pushing herself hard to make the final cut for the Six Nations.”

Since then Kennedy has went on to be a regular for Ulster and Ireland, was the Front Row Union Player of the Year in 2011 and this season she added strong leadership skills to her considerable talents as she successfully guided a rebuilding City of Derry through a difficult season in the AIL2 bringing through many new players in the process.

With Ulster Women going through something of a hiatus this season Kennedy will certainly need all her . . .
