Cobh Pirates Tripp to Tipp 11th and 12th of June 2016

I must warn road users between Cobh and Limerick junction that the time of year has come around again when a bunch of x-rugby players from Cobh Pirates head off on a cycle for charity. (The "Rugby Tour" will never be the same again J ).

We will be cycling from Cobh to Limerick Junction in Co Tipperary on Saturday the 11th of June and returning to Cobh on Sunday the 12th of June. (125km each way)
I would be grateful if you can afford to support our charity this year which is the Cork Association for Autism.
You can either donate on line by using the following link https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/11259514_stephen-mulvihill-s-fundraising-page.html or I also have a sponsorship card if you prefer to donate that way.

Thanking you in advance.

Ballyrandle Cup Final – 3 in a row for City!
Waterford City travelled to Dungarvan on Sunday to face Clonmel RFC in the Ballyrandle Cup final. In excellent weather conditions City got off to a good start with a try shortly after the whistle. City continued on their scoring way and ran out comfortable winners in the end. Congratulations to Stephan Walsh on his man of the match performance. Thanks to Dungarvan for hosting the game and as always many thanks to out sponsors Kingfisher Club and DoneDealjobs.ie.
