MINI RUGBY INTRODUCTION


Mini rugby takes place every Sunday morning, rain or shine, at Lakelands Park. Kick off for training is at 11.00. Parents are always welcome to come down and watch, take photos or get the camcorder out. They are also more welcome when they join in and help out. For those feeling the cold there is always a great welcome and a cup of tea/coffee and a few biscuits in the clubhouse. On match days kick off will vary depending on where we are playing and who the opposition is. We always give you plenty of notice if there is a change.

Terenure's mini Rugby has only been cancelled once in its long history due to foot and mouth in 2001. This is maily due to the dedication of Gareth Lynch and the coaches. Why not drop down to the club on a Sunday morning and have a look for yourself as this great institution. You'll be surprised at what you see.
