It is a huge honour and privilege to have been elected to the position of President of Gorey Rugby Club.

As President, I would like to give a warm welcome for the return to rugby to all our members, supporters, any visiting teams and match day officials who make the journey to Clonattin this season.

For the coming year, I would like to wish our Club Captain Richard Deering, the Ladies Club Captain and their teams every success in the forthcoming season. Equally I would like to wish all our players, guardians, volunteers, coaches, co-ordinators and management of all our teams a successful and enjoyable season.

To all our volunteers, our club could not function without your help. We are fortunate to have a group of dedicated members who give up their time to ensure the smooth running of the club. A huge thank you to every one of you.

A special word of thanks to our generous sponsors for their continued support, which is very much appreciated. It is important that all our members try to support them whenever and wherever possible. Without our sponsors we would be in an exceedingly difficult situation.

I look forward greatly to welcoming visiting teams and their supporters to our grounds in Clonattin during the season, for some great rugby!

David Swaine
Club President 2023-25
