As the year ends we have a relatively quiet weekend of rugby. Our Youth's teams are in action with full details on ClubZap and the website.

I'm delighted to share with you that as part of our ongoing redevelopment of Alcast Park we have been awarded  €25,000 towards a walking track. The walking track is an important wellness initiative that we included in our planning permission submission (thanks Malcolm!) last year. The award is part of the Healthy Ireland Walking Tracks Fund for IRFU and FAI Clubs. A big thank you to Terry Kavanagh for the work he did on the application (and to Ted and Andrew for their support). More information on the initiative can be found here:

Tickets are available for the Ireland v Italy Six Nations Game....apply now to avoid disappointment:

Your last opportunity to get ERFC club gear to put under the tree is Sunday from 10.00-12.00. ClubZap and the website have information on sale items and other stock.

Best of luck to Senior player James Doyle, his brothers and the Davidstown team for their All Ireland Semi Final this weekend.

Our final 300 draw of the year will take place next week, keep an eye on our socials and your emails for the results. Please do sign up again for this year, we'd very much appreciate it:

I'd like to thank all our volunteers across the Club for their dedication and hard work in 2025. I wish all our members a very Happy Christmas and the best for 2026.
