Irish Rugby Battlefield

On a cold winter night the club hosted their ever successful Christmas party with a Christmas jumper theme to add that extra touch of fun. Local photographer Christina J Irwin was on hand to snap an album of pictures of the male and female rugby players enjoying a splendid, warm and friendly Christmas. With mulled wine and all sorts of beverages and a roasting fire topped off by the clubs own Santa sled in the corner lots of light will fill the club this Christmas.

If you ever find yourself in Donegal Town, Ireland then a warm rugby welcome awaits you!!!!

Everyone in Ireland is talking about Ulster Rugby, everyone in the rugby world is talking about Ulster Rugby. With a devastating and massively powerful display against Northampton Saints in the Heineken Cup on Saturday past, a side who are renowned for their physical play and scrum dominance. Ulster Rugby took them apart in what one Northampton commentator called an embarrassing night for English rugby! To put it in the most direct terms - this is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest Ulster Rugby team in the history of the province! Now, lets reflect on the fact that Leinster another of the 4 Irish provinces are the current Heineken cup holders, a competition that sees all the best teams in Europe compete, then the mind simply boggles on the connotations of say an All Ireland European Cup Final (same as last year) between Ulster & Leinster, but this time, not in Twickenham the famous English stadium but in Ireland's International stadium The Aviva, in Dublin!

This is the stuff of legends, it would simply be the biggest period of Irish Rugby dominance in the history of European Rugby.
