    UCD are to offer free admission to all adults wearing a Leinster rugby jersey this Friday for the College's home Premier division clash against Derry City at Belfield Park.
    It is part of UCD's ongoing attempts to improve home gates.

    UCD Development Officer Diarmuid McNally spoke of the initiative, "It’s important that we spread our appeal as much as possible. With the rugby season over, this is an opportunity for Leinster rugby supporters to swap codes for the evening and bring their kids along to Belfield Park for a night’s entertainment and fun."

    "The club has embarked on an extensive marketing campaign to publicise its matches this season," McNally explained. "We have circulated hundreds of posters to local pubs and shops as well as thousands of fliers to commuters and local schools and clubs."

    "We know habits change slowly but we are determined to develop a new fan base. The matches we put on at half time are a great attraction for the kids. We also have some of the most exciting young players in the country, including current Republic of Ireland Under-21 internationals Gary Dicker and Darren Quigley."
    The game is on Friday at 8:00pm. It's at Belfield Park which is on Fosters Avenue. You're all more than welcome.

    Yeah, there's Darren Quigley, the U-21 goalkeeper, and Gary Dicker who sometimes looks as graceful as Zidane on the ball.;) Both have attracted interest from Premiership clubs, particularly Charlton and Reading. Why not turn up for free and say you saw them before they made it big?

    Sounds like a decent evening - drink a few tins, head to the game, then head into town. I'm in.
