Ireland Tour

Team,

What a season! We started with all kinds of problems and depleted numbers, but we grew stronger by recruiting new players and never doubting ourselves. We worked hard in all aspects of the game. Despite facing injuries, we still managed to reach two finals and had a clean sweep on our tour to Ireland. Even when we received only criticism and no outside help, you showed remarkable mental resilience, passion, and belief in one another—qualities that not even the Leinster metro finalists could overcome.

Every player stepped up and fought for the team. As coaches, we could not ask for more. We faced challenges in the finals due to injuries and poor officiating, but just imagine how strong we could have been if our team had been fully fit all season!

We bounced back again and again, demonstrating discipline, structure, and unwavering resilience. The last two matches were a pleasure to watch: great attacking rugby, solid defense, and matching the quality, intensity, and skill of a team that had just beaten Black Rock in the semi-finals and plays rugby every weekend.

Let no one diminish your achievements or your personal and team development. You all know what it means to have your backs against the wall and the grit it takes to play without reserves while managing injuries. We are not only proud of the way you played but also of your polite and respectful behavior off the pitch.

Hold your heads high and take a well-earned break, but remember to keep fit for next season!
