Vickers Makes the Nomads

Article By Jonny Staplteton

Clondalkin star forward Rachel Vickers has been selected for the Nomads 2011 European tour.

Former England World Cup representative, Vickers, who is the first Clondalkin player to play senior Leinster rugby whilst still competing for the Gordon Park side on a weekly basis, will team up with players from around the world in the female equivalent of the Barbarians.

The impressive Leinster lock will make her Nomdas debut in an interesting clash with her native country England in early February.

"Rachel continues to bring great honor to the club," ladies Captain Sandra Flood said. "She is a great player and a great ambassador for the Clondalkin and Ladies rugby. We are all very proud of her and her achievements. Not only has Rachel excelled for Leinster, she has now been recognized by the Nomads and is one of the best players Clondalkin ever had be it in the male or female set up."
