UCC V HIGHFIELD

I am delighted and honoured to have been asked to serve as President of UCC RFC for the coming season. This season, UCC RFC is celebrating its 150th Anniversary. UCC is the oldest rugby club in Munster and the third oldest in Ireland. Founded in 1872 when UCC was still known as Queen’ s College Cork, UCC Rugby was the first sports club in college, and has defined the look of sports in UCC through its iconic Skull & Crossbones emblem.

Today we welcome our friends and neighbours Highfield RFC to the Mardyke for our first home match of 2023. Highfield have been paying well recently, having beaten UCC before Christmas, and then went on to beat St. Marys both home and away. They are now 4th in the league table. I would like to wish Highfield and their President, Frank Cooper well for the rest of the season. I hope we have a great game of rugby today and while I wish for a UCC win, I know we can all return to the clubhouse and enjoy the hospitality after the match.

Finally, I would like to thank our sponsors and commercial partners for their continued support of the club, especially today’s match day sponsor, RDJ and in particular John Dwyer.

Finbar Dennehy President UCC RFC

Sincere Thanks to Today’s Match Sponsor
