Busy times for underage players in this Tipperary rugby club
Clonmel club is preparing for its inaugural Under 9s festival
There are busy days for Clonmel Rugby Club’s Minis, with all the club teams on the road to blitzes.
On Saturday, the Under 9s travelled to Cork Con RFC to play a blitz against the hosts and local clubs.
Clonmel fielded two teams and played four matches.
There was some fantastic rugby on display and the Clonmel boys impressed all in attendance with their skill and determination.
A bonus came in the form of some encouraging words from former Munster and Ireland player Donnacha O’Callaghan.
On Sunday, the Clonmel Under 7s, Under 8s, Under 10s, Under 11s and Under 12s travelled to a blitz in Thurles Rugby Club to play games against the hosts and Cashel Rugby Club.
It was a super morning of rugby and again the Clonmel boys and girls gave a very good account of themselves.
Sincere thanks is extended to all the club’s wonderful coaches for their tireless work developing the Minis players.
A word of thanks also to the parents for travelling to these blitz days.
Clonmel Rugby Club will host its inaugural Under 9s Festival on Sunday April 6.
This promises to be one of the biggest blitzes for this age grade in the country, with 40 teams from over 20 clubs across Munster and Leinster in attendance.
Further details will follow in the coming weeks.
