MINI & YOUTH RUGBY TRAINING, FIXTURES and EVENTS
MINI & YOUTH RUGBY:
Even though the Rugby season has finished for our Mini and Youth
Teams, our U13’s – coached by Shane Gill, Jason Llewellyn and
Stuart Campbell and assisted by Mark Younge and Marcus Flynn
have one more important fixture this weekend.
They are in the Final of the Leinster School/Youth League vs
Balbriggan. Venue is Donnybrook with a KO at 3.10p.m. on Pitch 2
on Sunday 6th May 2017.
Give this team your support and come to Donnybrook on Sunday.
There are many rugby finals being played, starting from 12 noon and
running until 6pm.
We wish our U11’s Team an enjoyable weekend as they finish their
season with a trip north to Belfast where they are participating in a
blitz being run by Malone Rugby Club on Saturday and a visit to W5
on the Sunday when they will return to Dublin.
