IRFU President Declan Madden said: The ‘Your Club, Your Country’ initiative, proudly supported by Energia, continues to be hugely supported by rugby clubs and the communities around them raising important funds for the grassroots of the game.
“The record-breaking funds raised this year for our clubs is fantastic news as we head into Christmas.
“I would like to thank all those who helped fundraise and donated so generously to this year’s campaign in which over €1.1m was raised by 160 clubs. The IRFU congratulates all of this year’s winners and pledges our ongoing commitment to supporting club rugby.”
Michael Collopy, Chair of the IRFU’s Commercial and Marketing Committee, added: “Club rugby is the backbone of the game in Ireland and it is inspiring to see so many people continue to support their local rugby club through the ‘Your Club, Your Country’ initiative.
“I want to congratulate the winners and thank everyone, from the members, supporters, and sponsors throughout Ireland, for getting behind this fundraising initiative. By purchasing tickets, you have invested in our clubs and the future of our grassroots game.”
