Rugby Blitz- 6th November 2019

5th and 6th Class had a great time at the recent Rugby Blitz in Birr R.F.C. Our Girls’ Team were flawless in winning all 4 of their games while our Boys’ Team did really well to win 2 out of their 3 games, despite having no reinforcements to call upon. A great day was had by all – thanks so much to Denis and all the crew at the Rugby Club!
