The President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, was presented with a DLSP club tie and Paul Hogan asked him to wish Connacht the best of luck this coming season on behalf of the Eagles.
The DLSP Eagles are a special needs Tag rugby team established last season by David Hicks, whom is a pillar of De La Salle Palmerston rugby.
The Eagles train every Sunday morning during the rugby season at Kirwan Park in Kilternan where David is assisted by a team of enthusiastic coaches and helpers, who make every game and training session an enjoyable event for the team.
This has been a very exciting year for all those involved with the team. They had the privilege of playing at half-time at a Leinster home game in the RDS and also being introduced to the crowd at the Aviva Stadium where they proudly did a lap of the pitch at half-time during a Heineken Cup game.
The Eagles also hosted their inaugural round robin tournament at Kirwan Park where the friends from other teams in Leinster and Ulster travelled to take part in a fabulous event.
If anyone would like any information on playing, coaching or just getting involved with the 'Salmo Eagles, please feel free to email head coach David Hicks.
