The future of Loughrea RFC takes the field tonight, while the present steps up on Sunday! 🏉💜💛

A special evening for our club as our U12 Girls and Boys take to the pitch at Dexcom Stadium for some half-time rugby!

While our senior players prepare to represent Loughrea RFC on Sunday, it’s fantastic to see the next generation getting their opportunity to shine on the big stage.
