RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Highfield RFC enjoyed a strong campaign in 2016 / 17 and are already planning to push on next season . Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with this season ’ s President Fergus O ’ Mahoney to find out more about the club .
He told us , “ I ’ ve been involved for years at the club , carrying out a number of different roles . I ’ ve been President this year ; it ’ s been an easy job because the team has been very successful .”
“ There ’ s a great atmosphere at the club at the moment ; we ’ re fielding four men ’ s sides and a ladies team at senior level . We also have a very strong underage section and there ’ s a very good rugby culture in Highfield at the moment . That ’ s very important for us ; it ’ s our job to create the atmosphere for good enjoyable rugby because it is a participation sport .
“ We ’ ve grown organically over a number of years . We were demoted to junior rugby in 2001 but got straight back up . There have been a number of blips on the way but certainly in the last six years we ’ ve progressed well and have had a good season this year . Getting a playoff place is a huge achievement just after getting promoted and we want to push on from there now .
“ The players and the coaches here are very ambitious which is very important . It is also important that the club stands behind them and
Donagh Corby of club sponsor Firgrove Pharmacy recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine about his positive association with Highfield Rugby Club , saying , “ I have sponsored the club for the past six years or so and I am delighted that they are again having a really good season . Unfortunately , I don ’ t get down to see many games due to work commitments and the location where I live . Congratulations to everyone at the club , keep up the good work !”
