Welcome to the St Mac Dara's Community College RUGBY Blog

Hi everyone,

This blog is intended to help out everyone involved in RUGBY in St Mac Dara's Community College to keep in touch with each other.  It will help teachers and coaches to keep students and players informed on what is coming up, whether that's training or a match, and it will help parents and guardians to see all of the amazing things that their children are achieving in St Mac Dara's.

Keep an eye out for updates from the start of September on.  In the meantime enjoy the off-season.  Hopefully everyone will have a great break.  Best of luck to all of the RUGBY players from St Mac Dara's involved in exams.  See you all next season.

S Culleton.
