Former Dolphin player, Lucia Linn, was in the news twice today.

Firstly she was named as one of the 35 Irish Women’s contracted players for 2025/26 and later in the day as being in the Irish Women’s 7’s squad playing in the Dubai Invitational Tournament which starts on Friday.

Lucia (20), was the first Dolphin Woman to play for Munster at U18 level, she subsequently moved to England and played Premiership Women’s Rugby with Loughborough Lightening when still eligible for U18 rugby.

Lucia has since played for the Munster Senior Women’s side and already has played at 3 levels for Ireland Women’s sides – U18 (3/2023),  U20’s ( 7/2024) and the Women’s 7’s side (01/2025)
