Dedicated, clinical in attack and organised Connacht rugby Clubs and Schools are growing steadily and developing rugby skills across the key parameters of nutrition, skills, strength\/conditioning and mental health. The rugby is structured organised and of the highest Calibre. This weekend begins on Saturday with 3 1B games in the UBL with titale chasers Galwegians welcoming Shannon to Crowley Park, “Wegians” will relish this encounter in front of loyal home supporters as the previous away game was a hard fought game which “Wegians” edged in a bonus point victory. Buccaneers travel to Dooradoyle to take on Garryowen and after Connachts famous win over Munster last night at the Sportsground Buccaneers will play solid structured clinical rugby in this game. The third Div 1B game sees Corinthians travel to Gibson Park in Belfast to face Malone who are 3rd from Bottom but Corinthians will allow no complacency as all the teams including Corinthians are semi pro athletes at this level and away from home Corinthians will bring a focus to this game as a season definer and the first game of the 2015 schedule. Sligo travel to City of Derry RFC for an important friendly as they focus towards the most important games of the 2014\/15 season.
\n Sunday brings a host of domestic games and the club rugby supporters growing in numbers and buoyed by the burgeoning Connacht provincial team will be starting to visit their local club communities to invest time and energy in supporting grassroots rugby and developing strength in numbers as the province has grown well in the past 15 years. At JUNIOR level in J1A the UBL Corinthians and Galwegians teams have a local derby. Galwegians cannot close the gap on Corinthians alone but a bonus point win on Sunday would substantially reduce the arrears! Meanwhile in J1C Dunmore play Buccaneers with Dunmore mid table and Buccs at the bottom of it a win here for Dunmore with the bonus point would take them to 1 point off 2nd placed NUIG. In J2 Ballinasloe play Castlebar which is a bottom 2 in the league playoff! OLBC play Tuam(3rd) which is 3rd v 9th, Oughterard play Westport(1) which is league leader v 5th placed Oughterard!
\n We would as always encourage rugby supporters to attend these grassroots games as much is to be learned about the community of rugby and the immense work of volunteers who make all of this possible!<\/p>\n
