Dear Members,

This Saturday marks the beginning of the 2025/26 Energia All-Ireland League season for both our Senior Men and Women. The Women’s 1st XV travel to Park Avenue for their opening fixture against Railway Union, while our Senior Men return to Division 1A with a trip to Nenagh Ormond, selected as the featured men’s AIL game on Irish Rugby TV.

Please note the Women’s fixture will not be streamed, but live score updates will be available via the Anyscor Fan App. The Men’s game will be shown live on Irish Rugby TV: https://plus.irishrugby.ie/events/lsogjkwv

Your support makes a huge difference, and we wish both squads the very best of luck as they start their new campaigns.
