We are hoping to have a family fun day an a fun competition between local businesses.

🏉🇮🇪🇺🇸 What an incredible day for our U12 Girls squad! The girls had the absolute privilege of showcasing their talents on the big stage yesterday, playing at half-time during the Ireland v USA match at a packed Tallaght Stadium. Running out in front of a massive, roaring crowd didn't faze them one bit. The girls put on a sensational performance, running in 3 fantastic tries and proving they can hold their own under the big stadium lights! ## 🏆 Key Highlights * 3 Superb Tries: Clinical finishing in front of thousands of fans. * Exceptional Teamwork: Outstanding passing, support play, and defensive shape. * Incredible Effort: You honestly wouldn't think the girls are only just back after a long summer break—their fitness and sharpness were top-class. ## 🎤 Room for Improvement... The only criticism that requires immediate attention was their karaoke performances on the bus on the way home! While their rugby skills are officially international standard, their singing voices definitely need a bit of pre-season training before the next away trip! ❌🎶🚌 A massive thank you to all the parents and supporters who traveled to cheer them on. This was an experience these players will never forget, and it is a phenomenal start to the new season. The future is incredibly bright for this team! 🙌🔴⚪
By Ronan GinnellDespite the wait to get going, Mullingar settled quickly and were the better side early on, with two well-worked tries showing the shape and patience they've been building in training. Three tries in all on the day. The middle of the game was where it turned. Mullingar dropped off the intensity and became passive in defence, and Tullamore took full advantage — building momentum, getting into the game and adding scores of their own. In attack, Mullingar put themselves under needless pressure by not building phases and giving the ball away too cheaply. Tullamore held on to win by two points, 33-28. A tough one to lose, but an honest performance with clear lessons in it, and a squad well capable of coming back from it
By Ronan GinnellA welcome positive for Mullingar was the return of Fionn O’Hara at out-half. Seeing him back in the number ten jersey offered encouragement to the travelling support and gives the squad a boost as it looks to build momentum. DLSP, who narrowly suffered relegation last season, provided a demanding test. Injuries have added to Mullingar’s challenges, but further players are expected to return as their GAA commitments conclude, strengthening the options available in the weeks ahead. Club president Denis McDermott pointed to the youth of the team and the encouraging signs within the squad, while particularly welcoming O’Hara’s return to Mullingar colours. Although the result was disappointing, the focus now turns to regrouping and building towards next week. The club thanks everyone who travelled to support the lads. With thanks to Ben Murphy for the report and photographs.
