RUGBY DEVELOPMENT NEWS<br />

MUSKERRY RFC PLAYERS HELP ST.<br />

VINCENT DE PAUL<br />

Although rugby may be on hold for the moment<br />

that does not mean the players from Muskerry<br />

RFC have not been busy. On recent Friday<br />

evenings, players from the club’s Junior 1<br />

and Junior 2 squads have given up their time<br />

to help the St. Vincent de Paul charity. The<br />

masked and socially distanced squads, led by<br />

club captain Joe Tracey, have donated the time<br />

they would have spent training this month to<br />

pack Christmas food hampers for families in<br />

need. They even chose to skip watching the<br />

recent Ireland v Wales game to keep up the<br />

momentum. Kate Durrant from the St. Vincent<br />

de Paul said, “We could not do it without help<br />

from voluntary groups like Muskerry RFC.”<br />

minis and youth players. With COVID-19 Health<br />

& Safety Plans in place, clubs and schools can<br />

work within government guidelines to continue<br />

as a hub for physical and mental well-being for<br />

school-aged children. Non-contact sessions can<br />

be run within a pod of 15 including coaches and<br />

COVID-19 Club Compliance officers. The last<br />

number of weeks saw our staff working closely<br />

with clubs and schools among them including<br />

Ursuline Secondary School in Thurles, Nenagh<br />

Ormond RFC, St. Munchin’s College in Limerick,<br />

Villiers School in Limerick, Mallow RFC, Thurles<br />

RFC, Richmond RFC, Glenstal Abbey School,<br />

Bandon Grammar, Ballina Killaloe RFC, Midleton<br />

RFC, Mallow Convent National School, St.<br />

Finbarr’s National School in Bantry, Carrigaline<br />
