Leinster Rugby Squad Brings Excitement to Mullingar with Live Training Session

Mullingar Rugby Football Club is buzzing with excitement as it prepares to host a live training session for the esteemed Leinster Rugby squad. This much-anticipated event is part of the Leinster Rugby ’12 County Tour’ which sees Leo Cullen’s team visiting the counties around the province as part of its training schedule over the season.

The open session in Mullingar RFC is set for Monday, February 12th, from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM, and is open to the entire community, not just club members.

Club President Conall Fitzgerald expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Leinster have been very accommodating in hosting their open training session at a time that allows maximum participation. We’re keenly aware that not all kids have the midterm off, so a 2:30 PM start ensures that as many local rugby fans as possible can watch their heroes train.”
