Enniscorthy Clive Gethings is an ex-player of Enniscorthy Rugby Club. He told Rugby Club Magazine, “I played from Under 9s to the age of 17, as a front row hooker, when work and family commitments meant I couldn’t continue. My sons both play for the club; Adam is 18 and a current 2nd team player and Jamie is now part of the club’s excellent mini section. It’s been an absolutely phenomenal effort and achievement for the club this season to have reached the heights they have at many different levels which is a reflection on all the hard work that local people have put in. My business Gethings Garage Ltd are also proud supporters of the club and myself and everyone here would like to congratulate the club on their promotion to the All Ireland leagues and wish them the very best of luck for the 2019/2020 campaign!” ww Commercial Vehicle Sales & Service Iveco, Hino, Isuzu and Fiat Professional Dealers Tel: +353 (0)53 9233314 www.gethingsgarage.com [email protected] Moyne Business Park, Old Dublin Road, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford Moyne Busine The club is thriving with mini, youths, womens and seniors all going really strong. It is great to see so many successful past players now coaching mini, youths and ladies teams, continuing and passing on the inclusive community vibe within the club that anyone who visits the Ross Road enjoys. Our promotion to senior status creates a new challenge to the squad which all past players would be envious of. With the coaching team in place and the continued development of the culture and raising of their own standards the squad have a fantastic opportunity to create more history within the club. The continued commitment of ‘home grown’ players transitioning through the club’s youth system is one of the backbones to ensuring we don’t get ahead of ourselves and have steadily been knocking on the door of senior status for the past few years. The only concern I have is the hierarchies vision for the club game; I’d welcome the IRFU to expediate their decision on the make-up of the AIL and provincial leagues going forward, so as all clubs can try to plan out their paths in the years ahead both on and off the field. That is out of our hands, onwards and upwards for ‘scorthy!” Graham Murphy Aine Doyle of Enniscorthy Credit Union recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine about her positive association with Enniscorthy Rugby Club, saying, “My daughter played at the club and I know many people over there. They have had a fantastic season and we are all very proud of the club and its members. As a company we are also a sponsor of the club and like to support local initiatives and sport. I would like to wish everyone at the club the very best of continued success in the All Ireland Leagues next season!” www.rugbyclubmag.com 75
