Welcome Message
It is a great honour and privilege to be President of UCD RFC for the season 2009 / 2010 and
I look forward to extending a warm welcome to all visiting players, members, officials and supporters during the season. I played for UCD for 4 years from 1974 to 1978 and as well as having great memories from that time, I made many life long friends from my time in Collidge.
UCD RFC is one of the leading rugby club’s in Ireland and there is a very strong and committed team running the Club. I would like to acknowledge the work done by Club Chairman, Billy Murphy and the Executive team over the last few years in driving the club forward and I am delighted to be invited to be part of that team.
Our goal for the 1st team this season is to win Division 2 and achieve promotion. We will also make every effort to deliver as much success as possible at Junior and U 20 levels. We have a strong Under 20 and Junior set up and this augurs well for the future of our club. There will also be much work to be done in planning for our centenary year in 2010 /2011.
I would like to wish our Club captain, Matt Nagle, and all coaches, managers and players the best of luck for the season. We lost a few senior players at the end of last season but that provides a great opportunity for new and younger players to come through and succeed.
Finally, I would like to thank all our sponsors, and in particular our main Club sponsor, AIB, without whose continued support we could not compete successfully.
I wish you all a very enjoyable and competitive 2009 / 2010 season and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible throughout the year. There are many great personalities and characters in UCD RFC and at a personal level I look forward to enjoying the rugby and the craic throughout the season.
Please support our Club in any way you can.
Paul Molony
President UCD RFC
Season: 2009 - 2010
