The enthusiasm and dedication of these young players are truly inspiring, and we are excited to see how these balls will help them develop their skills. We look forward to building more partnerships to support their journey and boost their success.”
This year, the Naas RFC U13s have had a notable season, securing the Winner’s title in the Leinster League Cup, and achieving Runners-Up status in both the Leinster Cup and the North Midlands League Cup. These accomplishments reflect the team’s hard work and exceptional performance throughout the year.

We are delighted with the donation of rugby balls.  It's fantastic to see such support for youth sports, particularly rugby. We hope to see our players develop and achieve great things for their club and community. This support from Fitzpatrick’s and Opel Ireland is greatly appreciated."
