Congratulations to All

All at Shannon RFC would like to pass on our congratulations to Seamus Whelton, who was voted our Clubman of the year. Seamus has a long association with the club. I think we can all agree it is well deserved recognition for his ongoing hard work and dedication. We would also like to congratulate John Shine on his appointment as Captain of the senior side for the 2014/2015 season. Another well deserved accolade.
