Mini rugby resumes at Wicklow RFC

FOLLOWING A very successful summer camp - as reported here a fortnight ago, Wicklow RFC are resuming age-grade rugby this Saturday, September 4, at Ashtown Lane. The summer activities involved over 120 children who took advantage of the good weather to hone their skills under the watchful eye of Leinster and Ireland player, Sean O'Brien.

Wicklow up and running

WICKLOW 1ST XV got their South East League campaign off to a winning start with a good win away to a tough Gorey side on Sunday. The game was played on a beautiful sunny day on an excellent pitch. The side that started for Wicklow was without doubt the youngest side to start at first team level in the history of the club despite this they had too much for a committed Gorey side.

Wicklow sink Guinness

WICKLOW 1ST XV got their season off to a winning start with a good win over a tough Guinness side at Ashtown Lane on Sunday. Both teams used the game to try out their full squads. The game was broken up into four quarters of 25 minutes each with rolling subs used throughout. This format meant the game was a little stop-start at times but both sides produced some excellent rugby.
