A huge Thanks to all coaches,parents and players who helped to make last Saturday in Coonagh such a huge success. From 11.00am to 5.00 pm Coonagh was buzzing there must have been 6/700 people out there, all were fed and watered and went home happy. Well done to all.
Thought For The Week
Look not mournfully into the past, it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present, it is now only once. Go forth to meet the future without fear and with a brave heart.
Boots – Blades.
Note: We (Underage) at Shannon RFC are putting into place a complete ban on boots with blades. The injury to a young u15 player early this season at the club has focused the mind on the horrific injury he had to suffer. He has had a long period of recovery and we want to make sure that no other player suffers a similar injury. It is important that parents are advised at this point as lots of kids will be looking to get new boots for Christmas. When checking boots, Referees will be paying particular attention to ‘blades’ and if they are in any way damaged/rough then they will not allow them.
