    Leinster > Dublin > Stillorgan RFC

    Pre-season in Stillorgan is back tomorrow evening (12/07/12) and every Thursday so stroll down to the pitches beside the church on Bird Avenue in Clonskeagh from 7pm if anyone in the Dublin area is interested. Few circuits followed by a few games of touch or tag to shake off the cobwebs for the first week or two anyway, you can start worrying about the big hits after that. The club hopes to be fielding three teams (J2, J4, J5) this coming season so should be a level for everyone. The club is always after those with ambition so if you fancy the challenge you can eye up spots on the higher J2 and J4 teams, for the rest of us I can personally attest that there is a spot on the J5s for those new to the game, slowing down or, like myself, just not the best at the game.

    Standard will be ok. You will have a couple of games in tipp county cups, some played at start of season with other games at end of season and then at least x amount of games in the gleeson league.
    Games will mainly be against other clubs in south tipp

    We played their J4's last season and they are a good team. Decent bunch of lads as well, always give you a tough game and they'll challenge for trophies at J4's.

    Best of luck!
