Another fantastic occasion in our club with the unveiling of a fantastic piece of art. We are blown away by the work of Seamus Connolly. We are privileged to have such a special piece commemorating one of our greats looking down over the club.
We are thrilled to see
@CraigCasey9

We’ve delved into the archives to follow Craig’s journey from minis to the international stage!
Absolutely delighted to see Daniel Okeke make his first appearance for
@IrishRugby
u20s and also bag a fantastic try!!! We’re so proud but also recognise the fantastic work of
@RFCThomond
and their underage coaches in nurturing Daniels talents to where he is today.

Recently one of our very generous sponsors opted to stay anonymous for the season and instead nominated a charity to appear on our u20s jersey in their place. We are delighted to have
@PietaHouse
prominently featured on the front of the jersey.
Today, we take a moment to remember Zara Horan on the first anniversary of her passing. She is lovingly remembered by all who knew her in the club and we were honoured to unveil her framed jersey in our clubhouse last weekend. As always, our thoughts are with Zara’s family.
Congratulations to Kieran Ryan on his competitive start with

#ThereIsAnIsle
We are absolutely delighted to see
@CraigCasey9

@irishrugby
@SixNationsRugby
squad.
Well done Craig - we are so proud! A testament to your hard work and dedication over the years.
We’d like to wish Stephen Fitzgerald all the best on his retirement, unfortunately earlier than we would have hoped. Stephen is a fantastic clubman both on and off the pitch and although his career was cut short we are honoured to count him as one of our great professional alumni
Harry Long made his senior debut today at 18 years of age and also scored a cracker of a try! Pictured here with his first ever coaches Andrew McNamara who’s now part of our Senior Management team and his dad Mike Long - things you love to see! Well done Harry!! ⚫️🔵
It’s not every captain that would go to France to see his fellow back row making his
@IrishRugby
u20s debut! 👏🏻 Lee Nicholas and congrats to Luke Murphy on a fantastic first appearance 💪🏻 ☘️ ⚫️🔵🇮🇪
#ThereIsAnIsle
Once more, with feeling. Thank you to everyone who came out in support. Watch a very special There is an Isle on the pitch with Vinnie Ryan to cap off the season
This day 27 years ago Shannon Ladies played their first match - great Shannon women who at the time probably weren’t aware of the amazing legacy they would leave behind them. We look forward to the 30 year reunion in the next few years!
@Munsterrugby

A great photo of our
@IrishRugby

So proud of Pa Ryan and Aran Hehir again this week. They helped the

Full time score 25-19 to Shannon after a heart stopping final few minutes. Hard luck to

who put on a brilliant performance today. There’s always a fantastic game guaranteed when our clubs meet.
As the teams take to the pitch in Thomond Park they line up for a minutes silence to remember our first ever Irish rugby International and a much missed club stalwart. The great Brian O'Brien RIP.
We were delighted to see
@CraigCasey9
get his first Rugby World Cup cap last night. In doing so he has become the 11th Shannon player to represent our club in a World Cup. A proud day, we’re so proud of him - it’s the first of many more we’re sure!
