The Colts mini rugby boys & girls teams travel north this Saturday morning 7th November to Sligo. The mini rugby blitz takes place in the grounds of Sligo IT which is located off Ash Lane, Ballinode. We need all players to arrive at the grounds and be ready to play at 9:45am latest.
There will be a bus leaving the Local Car Park in Claremorris at 8:15am sharp to arrive at Sligo IT for 9:45am latest. The cost of the bus is €5 per player.
To insure everyone needing transportation on Saturday is accommodated, we are asking all parents to text Robert 087-7411619 with your child’s full name to reserve a seat for your child on the bus. Parents who have reserved a seat will get priority on Saturday morning and we cannot guarantee a seat on the bus for your child unless you have reserved in advance. 
There will be NO games or training for our Boys U7’s team this weekend meaning U7 training will resume on Saturday Nov 14th.
We expect to arrive at Sligo IT for 9:45am latest and will be assembling in front of the main sports hall. Our hosts will be directing the various teams to their playing pitches at 9:45am so please arrive before that time.
All the Girls teams and the Boys U8’s & U9’s will be playing on an astroturf pitch on Saturday and all players will be required to wear runners instead of boots on this surface. It is also advised that they wear tracksuit bottoms and long sleeve t-shirts to avoid the possibility of incurring friction burns if they happen to slide along the pitch. As always it is mandatory that all players wear a gum shield when playing mini rugby.
NO GUM SHIELD NO PLAY !!
We expect the mini rugby games to finish by 12pm and Sligo Rugby Club have very kindly offered to provide refreshments for the ‘Colts’ players. It’s planned to start the return journey to Claremorris by 12:30pm and to arrive at the Local Car Park by 1:30pm.
Please call Robert 087-7411619 if you have any questions or need further detail on the trip to Sligo on Saturday morning.
