CLICK HERE for 900+ Action shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Build it and they will come literally applies to Fiddlers Green rugby tourno 2012. Newry rugby club members where as proud of punch of their club and their team work on putting on a show that included council support for a big Marque, the Canal Court for accomodation and local radio pumping out the latest summer party tunes with the full contact 10s rugby on 3 perfectly sized pitches that ensured non stop tight close quarters combat from forwards who just entered into every tackle with the joy of fury and that sort of wicked frenzy for action that every bloodthirsty rugby player understands. Everyone knows that is how the game is played intermingled then with the forwards, centres and backs running lines and getting away off loads that looked impossible but on many an occasion cutting right through gaps of getting a pass away that just were not there on paper, how many crash balls was literally uncountable. Bulldogs were even getting away sweet passes in the summer sun. Fair play to Dromore who as the undisputed champions of this tourno having won more times than anyone they played superb rugby. All the teams who come back again and again were now joined by the new teams who pulled together sides, especially Co Cavan RFC who made it the tourno and were excellent a big bit of support has to go to them and it was a pleasure to get action shots of them. UUC, Newry themselves, Dungannon were blistering in their attacks, Armagh & Newry won the championships finals and with Newry Ladies + Cooke Ladies, Cooke men, all out in force having watched the Olympics opening ceremony the night before. It was a great day followed by a massive night with atleast 20 tents really turning the Rostrevor park into a festival.
Big Liam Newry RFC president has challenged Rab Irwin to put together a side for next years tournament and with club members offering to give teams accomodation in their own homes the spirit of rugby is alive and well.
We have alot of interviews, clips of play, presrentations and comments to follow from InTouch TV.
