Even given the fact that there have been two players' weddings in the Club this week numbers at pre-season training have been excellent. Head Coach Paul McKenzie stated "The coaching team have been delighted with numbers turning up for training but - as ever - it's hard to coax out a few notables. With the 1st XV's first two league games now confirmed as home to CIYMS on Sat 31st August & away to Clogher Valley on Sat 6th September now is the time to step up the pace. The Club are very lucky to have engaged the assistance of Paddy McGrattan as Fitness & Conditioning Coach this season. Paddy brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from his not inconsiderable athletics background and, more than ever, we hope to hit the ground running at the start of the season - with Instonians and Ballyclare joining Q1 the league will be even more competitive than ever so it's important to get off to a good start". Director of Rugby Chris Good said "Be there!!".
