Louise Galvin and Ireland chasing Olympic Sevens dream

Louise Galvin and her Ireland Women’s Sevens team-mates get the penultimate round of this season’s HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series underway in Canada tonight with qualification for next year’s Tokyo Olympics at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Since switching codes and leaving behind successful careers as an elite athlete in both basketball and Gaelic football, the UL Bohemian and Munster back from Kerry has had the Olympic experience in her sights and with Ireland currently in their best ever run of form, never has the opportunity felt so within reach.
