Dear members,

A huge thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday for the first AIL home games of the season. It was a lively afternoon at Ollie Campbell Park as both our Men’s and Women’s 1st XV took to the field. Our Men’s 1st XV made it two from two in Division 1A with a home win over Ballynahinch, while our Women’s 1st XV put in a strong performance against Blackrock.

We also saw plenty of action from our U20’s, Youth Girls, and Youth Boys. The Youth Girls continued their strong form with impressive victories for all three teams, while the U20’s kicked off their JP Fanagan Premier 1 campaign with a thrilling draw away to Clontarf. Both U13 Boys sides also showed real fight in their grading matches.
