Minis End of Season 2015

Our minis section held a hugely enjoyable ‘End of Season’ party and awards presentation following last Saturdays final training session of the season. Following on from what was undoubtedly a hugely successful season, our hard working coaches and players will take a well earned rest over the summer. Over the year, we had teams at all ages representing Killarney RFC at Blitzes in Killorglin, Castleisland, Tralee, Listowel etc and the pride in the Red and Black jersey was something to behold. Mini Rugby is thriving in Killarney. This is due in no small way to the hard  work of our Co-ordinator Tom Campbell, who was on hand to perform the MC duties on the day.

In all, almost 100 children received wonderful Killarney RFC medals and there were awards given to each age category for ‘Most Committed Player’ and ‘Player of The Year’. There were plenty of sweets and crisps to go around also, so a fantastic day was had by one and all. We would like to thank all the coaches who worked tirelessly all season: Derek Dennehy, John O’Leary, Liam Murphy, Ed Stack, Ian Harrington, Tom Campbell, Pat F. O’Connor, Denis Corridan, Seamus Greally, Seamus Kelly and Paul Neary. Also our Liason Officer Dora Campbell must get a mention of thanks for her hard work all season. We would like to send a heart felt thanks to the parents who brought their children to play rugby all season, in rain, hail or shine.

Finally a huge thank you to each and every child who trained in literally all 4 seasons weatherwise (often in one day!) to learn the game of rugby. We hope you enjoyed your season and enjoyed the final day party also. See you all next September in our new home in Aghadoe!
