Despite the forecasted rain, we had another great evening at the Official Opening of the New Pitches for Thurles Rugby Club and all it’s Members

Thanks so much to the large crowd that came to celebrate a huge milestone for Thurles Rugby Club.

Huge work has been done over the past few months by Martin Shanahan and the rest of the Grounds Committee getting the fields looking great and ready for the new season

We were delighted to welcome current and past players, parents, friends, local dignitaries and our Special Guest from Munster Rugby, Mr Brendan Foley.

Massive thank you also to all our helpers and sponsors on the night, to Ciara, Bill & Lucy O Dwyer, for the delicious sandwiches, to Ceire Irwin and Kathy Langley for the brilliant face painting, Siobhan Holohan for the lovely cakes, Naomi for the fab food platters, Michael Hally Halloran at Bounce Around for the Super Bouncy Castles, and Liam Campion for the delicious hot food, and of course thanks to FR Joe for blessing the land

These fields will be an amazing amenity to Thurles Rugby Club and indeed the town of Thurles for generations to come
