Apologies but yet again we are having to cancel both Youth and Mini Rugby this weekend.
The Club Firsts are due to play their much delayed All Ireland Semi Final against Tullamore on Saturday at 2:30pm. The pitches are thawing but obviously will still be very wet and this match may need to be played on Pitch 2 as Pitch 1 is still frozen at one end.
Therefore the Club Committee have asked that no-one train or play on either pitch to give the First every chance of playing as they already have a backlog of 7 matches.
Apologies to all, we will play again this year......
Youth training will now recommence on Tuesday evening at 6:30pm, Minis will restart on Saturday next at 10am. |
