As the 2025/2026 rugby season draws to a close, Killarney RFC is proud to look back on a fantastic year of development and achievement for our U18.5 Girls squad.

The squad showed tremendous dedication, grit, and sportsmanship on the pitch all year, representing the club with pride across every fixture. To mark the conclusion of the season, the coaching staff presented the annual player awards to recognize outstanding individual contributions to the team.

We are delighted to announce this year's winners:

Most Committed Player of the Year: Isabelle O'Shea

Isabelle’s work ethic, regular attendance at training, and unwavering positive attitude set a fantastic standard for the entire squad this season.

Most Improved Player of the Year: Eibhlin Lynch

Eibhlin’s development over the course of the season has been remarkable, showing massive strides forward in her technical skills and match awareness.

Player of the Year: Keelin O'Shea

Keelin delivered consistently high-level performances on the pitch, leading by example and proving to be a vital asset to the team throughout the campaign.
