MINI’S RUGBY STARTS THIS SUNDAY
Bective Mini’s & Youths rugby is back up and running this Sunday the 8th of September from 9am at Donnybrook.
Bective Rangers FC have a very active Mini rugby scene fielding teams at all Mini and Youth age grades from u6’s to U17’s. We have helped some great players on their start in rugby including the current Irish hooker Dan Sheehan, former Ireland out-half Johnny Sexton and the current Bective backs coach and former Leinster player Rory O’Loughlin. Many of these current and former internationals have come back to support us on our End of Season days handing out medals which is a real thrill for all our players.
The Mini’s train every Sunday in Energia Park (Donnybrook) between the hours of 9am and 1pm and compete in the Metro area underage groups. Rugby at this level isn’t geared towards winners and losers as players should be given the chance to learn all the skills of the game. At Bective, we recognise that young players develop in different ways and at different times as they grow so we encourage an all-inclusive policy for player development. Everyone is given a chance to play and have fun.
