Great progress is being made in our Schools Development Programme.

Coaching continues to develop in secondary schools in our region. Roscommon CBS, Roscommon Community School, St. Mary’s College, Ballygar, Glenamaddy Community School and Castlerea Community School all now have active rugby coaching development programmes, which is going well.

Interest and numbers continue to grow, with many students discovering a love for the game for the first time. Congratulations to them, the coaches and teachers for all their work and commitment.

The First Year team from St. Mary’s College, Ballygar aquitted themselves really well at a Blitz recently in Athlone. It is expected all five schools will have teams in the next First Year Blitz, that takes place in Mid-Novemver. More details on that in the coming weeks.
