#MunsterStartsHere Video Series | East Munster Emerging Schools

The #MunsterStartsHere video series has returned for this season and once again highlights the fantastic work that goes on behind the scenes to develop the game across the province.

The videos showcase the key roles played by clubs, schools, volunteers and development officers when ensuring the growth of age-grade structures and community programmes.

Emerging schools in the East Munster region feature in the latest video with a spotlight on a recent Blitz Day held at Waterpark RFC in memory of the late John O’Neill who was a Rugby Development officer with the province.

‘Johnno’ was a pivotal figure in helping increase participation and grow the sport for all ages in the Waterford and East Munster region.

Club Community Rugby Officer Jack Jacob and Senior Men’s Player Jack O’Donoghue speak about the impact ‘Johnno’ had on their respective careers. They also discuss the growth of rugby in the Waterford and East Munster area in addition to how Blitz Days can be of huge benefit to young players.
