North Kildare
B
ased at The Maws in Kilcock, North Kildare RFC currently plays in the Leinster League Division 2A. They have
enjoyed a superb season this time around and also continue to play a vital role in their local community, priding
themselves on being a friendly and sociable club.
Their first team put together a league
campaign to remember as they compiled
a record of thirteen wins and just one
draw from their fourteen matches.
Unsurprisingly this saw them finish top
of the table with 62 points on the board as
they swept all challengers aside.
Their on the field success is a fantastic
reward for all of the hard work that has
gone into making them the club they
are and their Committee deserves a
tremendous amount of credit. So long
as they can retain their current group of
players and perhaps make one or two
quality additions they should be in for
a successful campaign again next time
around.

One of the highlights of the team’s
performances this season has been the
attacking brand of rugby that they have
been able to produce. This has been
reflected by the fact that they racked up
459 points in the league alone at a rate of
more than 35 a game. Unsurprisingly this
saw them finish as the league’s leading
scorers.
This will certainly have meant that any
supporters attending their matches will
have been well entertained and should
encourage more of the local community
to get behind the side in the future. This
in turn has the potential to provide them
with a valuable source of additional
revenue.
This is not a club to focus solely upon
their senior section however and this is
reflected by the fact that they also have
a thriving youth set up. This part of the
club looks to provide youngsters from the
local area with an opportunity to play the
game in a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst helping them to reach their full
potential.
It is important for any club to be able to
produce their own talent, particularly in
the current financial climate and this is an
area that they appear to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
juniors can progress in the coming years.
There is much to admire about the superb
set up that North Kildare currently h as
in place and Rugby Club Magazine would
like to congratulate them on their recent
success.
