First Team Dressing Room Refresh

About a year ago our Shed decided that we should do something to recognise the talents of our playing members. Our players represent us all, Shed and Club, week in week out. They make exceptional personal commitments in time, training and dedication on and off the field. The players are what this great club is all about so the concept of giving the First team players a suitable dressing room worthy of their efforts came to fruition.

Des Crean, our Shed retired Architect, was asked to come up with some ideas for the dressing room. A small sub-committee was formed. They visited the Aviva stadium, looked at various other sports facilities and came up with a basic design. Partitions demarcating individual spaces were ruled out, names above each space of the 23 man panel for that day’s match were inserted and above them. As a reminder of the shoes they walked in, the names of our internationals who had played in their position were placed. The OBRFC 1st dressing room was recreated, and it is hoped it will add some inspiration to all on the day of a match.

It was a great pleasure for me to project manage this dressing room project and we all look forward to a great rugby season ahead.
