Leinster Rugby v Cardiff Blues

New pop-up club
in North-West Dublin
Leinster Rugby and Dublin City
Council are running a four-week
afterschool pop-up club in North-
West Dublin, for first and second
year students from the local
secondary schools in the area.
The afterschool pop-up club aims to
keep students active through fun noncontact
rugby games at DCU’s Astro
Pitches.
The first week of the afterschool pop-up
club proved a success with two pods
of St Mary’s, Glasnevin first year
students attending. What was even more
special, many of these students have
experienced the grassroots Tag Rugby
programmes in their primary schools.
The afterschool pop-up club will
continue for another three weeks, with
the hope that more students will come
down and join in, just remember to
register your free place on here:
Juliet Short, Leinster Rugby Community
Rugby Officer said, “A huge thank
you has to go to Dublin City Council
staff, Nuala O’Donovan for her work
in making it extremely easy to register
to attend, to all the secondary school
staff, especially Heather Bunnett, Eimear
Considine and Sinead Collins, without
their help it would not have been such
a successful first week and finally,
thanks to DCU and the Leinster Rugby
Community Rugby Staff for supporting
the afterschool club with their facilities
and knowledge.”
If you would like to hear more about the
pop up club, please contact your Head
of P.E in your school or email

Rugby Officer Juliet Short.
