Aghadoe – A hive of activity last Saturday
Our minis section held an historic and hugely successful first ever blitz at Aghadoe, last Saturday. Weather conditions were perfect and the pitches were immaculate as we welcomed teams at U7 to U12 from Castleisland RFC, Iveragh RFC and Kenmare RFC.

Over 200 children took part in matches where they got to show off the skills learned over the past few months to their eager parents on the sidelines. A wonderful day of rugby was had by all and we had a mountain of food brought by the parents who also chipped in to help ensure they visiting clubs enjoyed the fantastic Killarney hospitality.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped, from parking stewards, to first aid, to helping with distributing food, stewarding and so on. Thanks to our coordinator Liam Murphy for organising the day and his band of coaches who reffed and coached the kids and ensured they had a great day as well as helped set up the marquee and line the pitches. A fantastic effort by everyone ensured that the visiting clubs enjoyed the day and are looking forward to coming back to Aghadoe. Well done all. Minis training continues next Saturday between 10:30am and 12midday and new players are always welcome.
