The Club
Roscrea, Co. Tipperary is located in the midlands of Ireland, and Roscrea rugby club participates in both the Leinster league and the Midlands league. Last season was our 50th season and we competed for the first time in the first division of the Leinster league. The club is very dedicated to it's youth section with children form all ages learning the sport. The club is always interested in acquiring new players and last season we had our first foreign players from New Zealand.
This season, which has commenced in September, has and will be tough but with new captain Micheal Oakley giving leadership and under the guidance of Kevin O'Dwyer, Roscrea are confident that they can have another successful year. To compete in the first division a strong panel of players is needed and nearly all of last years panel are available.

A strong seconds team is also essential to the well being of the club again this year, and the club is in the process of appointing
a coach/manager for the seconds. It is hoped that they will be competive throughout the season. Players will obviosly have to give a big commitment to
playing and training. Playing is the name of the game and to play well you have to be fit, and to be fit you have to train.
Roscrea is a great club to play for. The comraderie and the craic is mighty. Play for Roscrea and you have friends for life. Train hard, play hard and enjoy
the craic afterwards - that is the Roscrea way!
