Lidl competition

Thank you to all the children, parents and coaches that took part in the TAKA.

We unfortunately didn’t win and Barnhall RFC scooped the well deserved first prize.

We have however been given a consolation prize of 10 new rugby balls which we hope to arrive in the coming days.

Again we did ourselves very proud and showed that Tallaght RFC are a real competitor on and off the field.

Our Youths section is growing every week and we have an action packed couple of months ahead.

new players are always welcome and we train on Sunday morning at 11am in Ballymana Lane. Contact details are available through the website.

Well Done

Tallaght RFC – Official IRFU Tag Rugby Venue – starts May 15th

IRFU_VW_TagLogoTallaghtIn association with Volkswagen, registrations for Ireland’s only official IRFU Tag rugby are now well and truly underway with many leagues already full.

Please see here for the Tallaght specific information:

http://www.irishrugby.ie/tagrugby/wheretoplay/leinster_tallaght_rfc.php

Please see the tag section of the Tallaght Website here for more info:

http://tallaghtrugby.com/tag-rugby/

 

More than 12,000 players will be signing up for the on-field and off-field fun at Irish rugby clubs in various locations throughout the four provinces.  

IRFU Volkswagen Tag is an ever popular non-contact form of rugby aimed at players both male and female aged 18 years and above. Its non-contact element makes it unique where leagues take place at beginners level to the more experienced A Grades with teams comprised of both men and women together. Veteran Men’s Leagues also take place at select venues.

In addition to regular Summer leagues, Spring leagues have expanded and are run in locations in Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Limerick and Waterford. Beach Tag will revisit Strandhill and Portstewart and the season finale will take place in the form of  the All-Ireland Championships at Old Belvedere.

A typical IRFU Volkswagen Tag season for a team will continue for nine/ten weeks, with one match per week starting in May. Enjoying the excellent facilities that a rugby club provides before and after a weekly tag game, a player pays only what amounts to less than €4 per week for a memorable summer playing Ireland’s fastest growing sport.

Registering a team also gives that player the chance to win VIP prizes to an Ireland home international at the Aviva Stadium, namely one of Ireland v South Africa, Georgia or Australia. These prizes, exclusive to IRFU Volkswagen Tag registered players only, will include match tickets and invites to the official post-match team reception in the stadium afterwards.

Olly Hodges, IRFU Leisure Rugby Manager, said: “The  choice of host clubs welcoming the numbers through their gates, grows as the playerbase expands further still.

“As each club generally completes their rugby season by April or May, programmes such as IRFU Volkswagen Tag are welcome vehicles for keeping the clubhouse and facilities open and active during this time.“

As Summer leagues in the most popular venues tend to fill up by as early as the beginning of April each year,  don’t leave registration too late.

All information on registration, competition draws, Volkswagen Tag venues and much more can be found by visiting the website at www.irfutag.ie or by emailing the IRFU at tag@irfu.ie.

Clondalkin RFC V Tallaght RFC U12

Sunday the 23rd of Feb took Tallaght RFC U12 team into a new era with their first match against Clondalkin RFC. the Tallaght RFC players arrived Gordon Park ready and eager to take tot he field. With Tallaght RFC hosting 4 players who never played before and 5 girls in the team, they looked a very different team to the opposition team who were a very good team.
The match kick off with nerves on the Tallaght side and these nerves lead to coinciding a quick try by. After that the Tallaght team didn’t allow any easy scores and fought tooth and nail for every inch of the pitch. From the start Tallaght set their stall out with huge tackles being made by the forwards and backs, when you hear all the supporters in unison take a deep breath with the universal oohhhh after tackles you know that they are good.
However for all the good work completed by Tallaght their inexperience showed and the wide passing from Clondalkin scored 4 tries in the first 10 minute section. This didn’t dampen the drive of Tallaght only spurred them on, the team hit harder and offloaded to open players while constantly moving forward. The breakdown was key and as the game went on Tallaght contested and gained control. Clondalkin scored again and Tallaght reduced them to only a break away try.
The highlight of the match came when a player only 1 week into playing rugby for Tallaght scored a try with a half way run into the corner. The third 10 minute section saw Tallaght display some of the best rugby of the day the forwards showed fantastic power and defense and the backs running with confidence and speed.
On the day it took an excellent Clondalkin team to take the win from the match, but the Tallaght team will be ready for the long awaited first home game for the youths and rematch with Clondalkin in Tymon park on Sunday the 2nd of March.We hope all supporter and family can attend this match and witness the up and coming stars of Tallaght RFC.
If three is any youths who would like to join Tallaght RFC please contact us here http://tallaghtrugby.com/about-us/find-us/

U8 TRFC: Gloomy morning after Ireland’s defeat has sunny outcome

At 7am Sunday morning the wind and rain howled and battered Dublin. This was a tough day to rise the head off the pillow after the disappointing result of the England V Ireland game in the 6 nations. The weather matched the mood in Dublin.
However after every storm there is a ray of sunshine and that came at 9am in the shadow of the Aviva stadium were Tallaght RFC mini teams took part in a 18 team blitz hosted by Lansdowne RFC.
Two Tallaght teams of 5 players took to the field to battle with some of the biggest clubs in Dublin. Nothing would scare these players, young and enthusiastic for the new sport they have taken up their abilities shone through as they took on Lansdowne, Wanders and Clondalkin. Each team took part in 4 matches and their tackling passing and effort shone through. The Tallaght players passed the ball excellently and took on players who were well drilled and experienced. However this did little to stop the Tallaght players run hard and fast with the ball to break the gain line again and again.
As the morning passed the Tallaght teams grew in confidence and ability and the supporters and coaches alike got an excellent display of why rugby is one of the best sports in the world and why all children benefit from this team sport. With tackles and breaking runs from all the children resulting in some fantastic tries, highlighted by Eoin’s effort in the corner.
In the end Tallaght RFC mini’s came out he wrong end of the results but the right end of the effort and passion.
the future look bright for these players and Tallaght RFC
A massive thank you to Paul Nagel and Lansdown RFC for all their hard work and hosting of the blitz. Also the players and their parents who represented Tallaght RFC so well.
Again their is room for all new players of all abilities just contact us here on http://tallaghtrugby.com/about-us/find-us/
