Ken Byrnes from Munster Rugby (Pathway Athletic Development Coach) joined the under 13s training session last Thursday evening and brought us through some useful warm-up routines designed for pre-match and training. The boys really enjoyed the session, and we would like to thank Ken for his time and Munster Rugby for making such resources available to Youth Teams across the province.
Our u13s Red team travelled to Limerick to play Young Munster/Richmond in a league match on Sunday. While conditions weren't great and being down a number of squad members, our lads put on a great display and continue to improve as we progress through our first season of competitive rugby.
Meanwhile, the White team hosted UL Bohemians on Sunday and once again demonstrated how well they are progressing and adapting to their positions within the 15-aside game.
It's so encouraging for all involved with this talented group of players to see that, despite being short 12 players last weekend, we could still field two teams and remain competitive. Training continues on Thursdays at 6pm. New players are always welcome.
