The Portlaoise RFC U-14 boys team enjoyed an exciting weekend of rugby and fun in Wales for a two-day rugby festival.
With just under 40 players, coaches, and parents making the journey, the boys had jam-packed weekend at the renowned Bethesda Rugby Club in North Wales.
The team will set sail on Friday and after two days of rugby they made it to the Challenge Cup final where they were victorious.
A special mention goes to the generous sponsors who ensured the team was kitted out in top-quality gear for the trip.
JS Ryan Freight Ltd., Castletown, provided the team with stylish zipper tops, perfect for warm-ups and off-field activities.
Neala Keating of Sherry Fitzgerald Hyland Keating, Portlaoise supplied the team with vibrant, custom-designed jerseys that made them stand out on the pitch.
While Shane Reilly of Shane Reilly Building Services has provided the team with gear bags, ensuring the players had everything they needed to stay organized throughout the weekend.
These thoughtful contributions from local businesses highlight the strong community spirit of Portlaoise RFC.
The boys proudly wore their new gear as they took on other teams from across Wales and beyond, showing off the generosity and support of their sponsors.
Portlaoise RFC is renowned for its community values, and this trip is another example of how the club, along with its sponsors, parents, and supporters, work together to create a nurturing and exciting environment for the players.
