Rugby (Men’s)
This well-known UCD club plays in Division Two of the AIB All Ireland League. While the demands of the game are increasing all the time in terms of fitness, speed, strength and skill, this club is constantly equipping itself to meet these challenges. Apart from the “Firsts”, there are six other teams including three Under-20 sides with the UCD Academy a feature of Irish rugby. This year an Under 23 Development side has been added to the list.
Apart from league competitions, the annual Colours match against Trinity and the Irish Universities Championships for the Dudley and Conroy Cups are the highlights of the season. The club has excellent playing and training facilities, a rapidly expanding scholarship programme and a development plan to improve standards of all players. Trials are usually held in the early part of the first term. The Director of Rugby John McClean should be contacted for further information.
