Our Underage will be in the Jetland Shopping Centre tomorrow and Saturday raising some much needed funds for tours etc. If you are shopping please stop by and support them! Making an appearance over the weekend will be our U12s, U14s, U18s boys and girls along with some parents and a few of our Senior players. If you can lend a hand and give some time to help out on Saturday, please let me know by return email.

We are back to action this weekend with Saturday producing four fixtures. Our firsts, thirds and 20s are all in action away from home at 2.30pm in their respective leagues while our ladies are fielding in the AIL shield in Coonagh at 5pm. Our Firsts travel to the Aviva where they will meet Lansdowne. Lansdowne have moved up to second place on the table while we are in sixth, our u12s will also be in attendance as they take to the field before the seniors. A great day out is promised.

Our Thirds travel over the road to take on Presentation after a well-earned break for the last few weeks. In what is sure to be a tough encounter, the thirds will hope to keep the momentum going and come away with a win helping them to retain their position on top of the table.

Our U20s will be on the road to Cork where they will meet Cork Constitution in Temple Hill also at 2.30pm on Saturday. Our 20s sit in third place on the table with Cork Con only one place behind them. Our 20s have been churning out some fantastic performances this season and we have no doubt that Saturday will see them raring to go again after their break.

Our ladies have the latest kick off on Saturday as they welcome Cooke to Coonagh, the AIL shield is a knock out competition so a big performance will be needed form our Ladies side to push on in the competition.

Things are really kicking on now as the second half of the season grinds on so if you can, please go along and offer your support to one of the teams.

Well done to Kelvin Brown who helped the Irish Universitry side record a 31-03 win over Scotland in Belfast last weekend!
