Inclusivity
From the very highest levels of World Rugby down through national and provincial rugby to New Ross RFC, there is an indisptuable belief that everyone should have the right to be a part of rugby regardless of their national, racial or ethnic origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, language, religion, politics or any other reason.
We offer the chance for everybody in the local community around New Ross to play, coach, referee or otherwise partake in rugby. We want to put a smile on the face of every single person who walks through the gates at Southknock.
We have children, from many diverse backgrounds, playing in our minis and youths teams. We were one of the first clubs to create an incusive adaptive tag rugby team for adults with a disability, the Dunbrody Warriors. We also support and host our own open days over the summer months to help introduce children and parents (especially those who may have moved to the area recently) to our rugby club and what we can offer them.
We want to give children a reason to dream about rugby, regardless of their ability, fitness level, gender, disability or ethnicity.
Community
New Ross RFC is much more than a sports club; it is an integral part of the New Ross community. Through its community events, most recently a Lip Sync Battle, and Open Days, the club has embedded itself deeply in the social fabric of the area. It not only promotes the sport of rugby but also fosters community spirit, making the club and important part of life in New Ross.
We also have a vibrant clubhouse which is available to members for family celebrations, fundraisers, and to the local Country Market on Fridays. The club's ongoing success is a testament to the strength of its community ties and the dedication of everyone involved.
Marching in the annual St. Patricks Day Parade, running rugby summer camps for children and participation in Sports Active Family Fun Days are all ways that we help to grow rugby and the club, within the local community.
The club is of course aware of the positive influence that rugby has on the health and fitness of its members - both physical and mental. With the health of the wider community in mind, the club also hosted a fundraiser for two defibrillators in New Ross town which continue to be maintained by the club.
Please contact us on rugby@nrrfc.ie if you would like us to support/attend any community event that you might be holding. We're always happy to help promote the club at opportunies around the town and locality.
Fundraising
In addition to sponsorship, we also carry out a number of fundraising activites throughout the year and your continued support for these is hugely appreciated.
Club Lotto
Our lotto runs weekly with draws held every Wednesday night at 20:00 at the clubhouse. All proceeds go towards the day to day running of the club. Results of the lotto are posted weekly on our facebook page.
We'd encourage all club members and other community members to play the lotto if possible. It's never been easier to play and you can now opt for auto-renewal and never have to worry about missing a draw again!
We've got a great group of people who distribute tickets, collect tickets and run the draws but could always do with more help. Please contact us if you can help with this vital fundraiser.
