The Club’s Under 19’s who are captained by Jordan Burns play Foyle College also at 11.30am.
There is a Novelty Rugby game at 1pm which sees the Womens Team take on the Golden Oldies in an encounter everyone is looking forward to. The Womens Team are up and running again this season thanks to Coaches Rodney Balfour and Gary Milligan, they have already had a significant result last Saturday Week when they won the North West Blitz Competition in Coleraine. There will be many Golden Oldies reputations on the line on Boxing Day as they come up against a winning combination.
The Senior Game on Boxing Day Kicks-off at 2pm and will see the Cityside team captained by Paddy Owens who is the current 3rd XV Captain and took his Squad last season to promotion.
