Sept 2025 – Edition #2
🏉 Rugby Returned
September saw the return of rugby across all levels. It was great to see all teams from u6s to seniors returning to action. Well done to all parents, coaches, players and club volunteers involved across all teams.
September saw the senior squad back in competitive action. We opened with a 20–15 win over Thomond in the first round of the Munster Senior Cup, before bowing out a week later to a strong Shannon side at Towns Park (0–24). From there, all focus turned to the AIL, where we kicked off our campaign at home to Bruff with a great performance and a 40–25 victory. You can read the full match report now on ClubZap.
All other teams across the club are back in action too – keep an eye on social media each week for fixtures and results.
📅 Upcoming Senior Fixtures (October):
🏉 Bective Rangers (A) – Donnybrook, Sat Oct 4th
🏉 Ballyclare (H) – Towns Park, Sat Oct 11th (Pre-Match Lunch spots available)
🏉 Dolphin (A) – Virgin Media Park, Sat Oct 25th
All games kick off at 2.30pm. If you can’t make it follow along on our social media channels.
Fundraising & Community
A huge thank you to everyone who supported our various fundraisers this month:
❤️ Stand 4 Féile Gate Collection at the Thomond match – raised €500.
🏔 Tom & Mags Charity Hike – over €7000 raised for MND and still accepting donations for another few weeks.
🎟 Autumn Series Raffle – Draw took place after the Bruff game with 11 prizes given out, congratulations to the winners!
🪣 Weekly Split the Bucket – €2 per entry, guaranteed winner every Thursday. It remains one of the best ways to support the club for just €2 a week. Enter online at MRFC Split the Bucket, or on ClubZap.
🍰 U16s Bake Sale at the Bruff game – a brilliant effort from our youths team.
🕯 Annual Ecumenical Service – a lovely evening in the clubhouse to kick off the season by remembering those who are no longer with us, thanks to the organisers.
🎫 Looking ahead, we’ll be taking part in the IRFU’s “Your Club, Your Country” draw, which helps raise much-needed funds for the club. Full details and ticket info in ClubZap.
🛍Club Shop
Don’t forget – all Christmas gear orders must be in by Oct 5th. More details on ClubZap.
📲ClubZap & Communication
The uptake of ClubZap across the club has been excellent – the majority of teams are now using it for comms, fixtures and results. Thank you to all players, coaches, managers and parents for engaging with the new system. Feedback is always welcome – please email midletonrfcpro@gmail.com.

If any members would like to help with events, fundraising, or general support around the club, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact any committee member for more information.
