President’s Welcome

members, players, coaches, officials, family, and friends to the start of our season. The very
best of luck to our club Captain Ross Elmes. I would like to wish our club coach Corey Carty
all the best for the season ahead.
Our Youth and Mini sections continue to grow thanks to the hard work and drive of our
Youths coordinator Brendan Carbery, our mini’s coordinators Robert Keady along with the
many coaches and volunteers that give up their evenings and weekends to make it happen.
Our director of rugby is Derek Cope, he is dedicated to making sure that the club is up to
speed on everything rugby related and ensuring all our coaches and players have the best
possible support throughout the year.
I also want to wish our All-Inclusive Tag Rugby Bees, their head coach Gavin Whitney and
all the other coaches and parents all the best for the season ahead. As a club we strive to be
inclusive and family-friendly.
To our committee members and volunteers throughout the club I would like to express

grow and develop our club and I look forward to working alongside them this season.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank all our sponsors and in particular Netwatch for
