Thank You Bernard

The Executive wish to announce that Bernard Jackman is stepping down from his role as Bective’s Director of Rugby with immediate effect.

Bernard’s recent career path has made it difficult for him to combine his rugby duties at Bective with his many media commitments including his recent appointment as High Performance Director to Horse Sport Ireland and he has therefore decided to step down at this time. Bernard has brought great success to the club since coming on board in 2019. During his tenure the club has been revitalised on and off the pitch.  Back to back Leinster League Division 1A titles 2022 & 2023, AIL Play - Off Final 2022, Semi-Final 2023, All Ireland Jnr Cup Finalists 2024, plus 4 in a row Leinster 2XV League (J2) titles. We wish Bernard the best of luck for the future and hope to see him in the club for a pint when the new season starts, hopefully, with a medal after a successful Olympics with the Irish Equestrian Team.
