DCRP Rugby Camp – Carndonagh
The first summer rugby camp was held at Carndonagh community school last week. The camp was organised by the Donegal Community Rugby Project with the help of Inishowen RFC. The participants took part in daily coaching sessions based around fun games and skills.
The young boys and girls will only have to wait for a few more weeks to practice these skills with Inishowen RFC mini section who are due to start their training in mid September. The information needed for the rugby will be posted in local papers and the following websites at the start of september– donegalcommunityrugby.com and inishowenrugby.com.

Thank you to Carndonagh secondary school for their continued support with the development of rugby in the region and Inishowen RFC with the promotion of the camp.

Donegal Community Rugby Project – Adult TAG Rugby
Donegal Town RFC was the venue for the first of several adult TAG competitions to be run during august. The competitions are part of the Donegal Community Rugby Projects summer programmes. For the past 5 weeks, players, many new to the game, have been attending weekly sessions at venues around the county.

To mark the end of the programme the players are all brought together at different rugby clubs to try the game in a fun and competitive environment. After the games all the weary players were able to socialise with a well earned BBQ. The programmes has also managed to identify potential rugby volunteers and also men and women who have now shown an interest towards the 15 a-side game.

Next week’s matches will be based at Letterkenny RFC’s Dave Gallagher Park. The IRFU would like to thank Donegal Town RFC for the use of their pitches and club house.

Summer Rugby at its Best!
Last week 5 schools from all corners of Donegal took part in the first contact rugby blitz to be held for primary schools held at Letterkenny RFC. 3 School took part in the U10 age group and 2 for the U12 age group. The pilot blitz was one of the new programmes for the Donegal Community Rugby Project aimed at introducing contact rugby to a younger age group. The Blitz was a great success for all of the 94 children who took part. Due to the response and feedback from the schools the opportunity will be given to more primary schools next year. Thank you to Letterkenny RFC for the use of the top class new pitches at the Dave Gallagher Memorial Park.

If any school would like to enrol for the contact rugby next year then send an email to info@donegalcommunityrugby.com
