It deals with all aspects of rugby within Highfield and contains many photographs and articles from members and well known sports personalities such as Tom Kiernan, Moss Keane, David McHugh, broadcaster Michael Corcoran and journalist Ned Van Esbeck.
The launch will take place in the Club Hall at 12 noon and guest of honour will be the Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr. Deirdre Clune.
