SENIOR RUGBY 

Creggs Firsts to play Dunmore RFC this weekend

Creggs First team’s Connacht League game away v Ballinrobe, last Sunday fell victim to the weather. This Sunday, the Firsts are away to local rivals Dunmore RFC in the Connacht League at 2.30 on Sunday. While Creggs currently sit at the top of the table, with three away games and one home fixture still to be played, there will be no complacency.

 Training continues on Tuesday and Friday nights.
