Donaghadee Rugby Club: RugbyForce Day – Saturday 23rd June 2012

The 1st 50 who do so get a snazzy t-shirt to cover their pale skin, and there will be some free beers and burgers for volunteers. Bring a friend! We’re looking to work 9-5ish so please make the time and make a difference to the club. Ireland play the All Blacks that morning so we’ll get that on after the graft is done and make a night of it while comparing our farmer’s tans.

Ulster Bank RugbyForce, a community initiative which provides rugby clubs with support to renovate their club and upgrade their facilities, has selected four rugby clubs (one from each province) as winners of the ultimate rugby club support package worth €5,000 each.

A total of 105 rugby clubs from across the country entered for their chance to win the support package, a significant increase on last year’s inaugural programme. The four lucky winners were:

Newbridge RFC,
Ballyhaunis RFC,
Killarney RFC,
Donaghadee RFC.

As part of the support package, the winning clubs aim to develop their underage structure, introduce outdoor exercise stations, refurbish changing rooms, and improve showering facilities. The four winning clubs have been awarded with €5,000 of goods and resources to use during their planned Ulster Bank RugbyForce weekend.
