Welcome to Navan Rugby Club; a community based, voluntary sports club. Located at Balreask Old Navan, the 2018- 2019 season will be the 94 th consecutive year that the Club will play rugby.
The Club is run on a voluntary basis led by an Executive Committee who meet monthly throughout the year, assisted by various subcommittees who sometimes meet even more often! Countless volunteers manage, coach and assist with the week to week running of our teams and superb facilities, which we are proud to make available to our member’s players, visiting clubs and the wider community.
Our Senior Men’s team will play in Division 2A of the All Ireland League (AIL) this season. This is the highest level in the Club’s history, having secured our second successive promotion with a dramatic injury-time play-off win against Rainey last April. Our incoming Head Coach is Ray Moloney, with the side captained for the first time by Conor Ryan. Navan Rugby Club also has a Senior Ladies team who also had an excellent season last year and fought their way to the league finals in Naas. This year, the side will be captained by another first-timer, Geraldine Lynch, and we wish our Senior teams together with the J1, J3 and u20 squads, all the best for a successful and safe season.
In addition to adult rugby, NRFC offers underage rugby to both boys and girls and there are currently individual 18 Mini, Youth and Mixed Ability teams catering for all age groups from u6 to u18s.
A number of our Club members are qualified referees and officiate at mini, youth and senior rugby. We even have a representative operating at the highest level in the professional game! Respect for all match officials is a cornerstone of rugby ethos and one we are very proud to observe at NRFC. We have an over 35’s Social Tag Team who have been playing every Friday night for the last ten years and a Golf Society, so there are lots of activities for all abilities on offer in NRFC throughout the year.
We’re a growing and ambitious Club always looking to improve and achieve at higher level, wherever we compete. We can accomplish even greater things with new members, supporters and volunteers. So if you want to be part of a welcoming and friendly family Club, please let us know, we’d love to welcome you to Navan RFC.
Yours in rugby,
David P Cullivan
President Navan RFC 2018-2019
