There are a few big days coming up in the Club over this coming weekend. On Saturday at 21st at midday, Clondalkin’s 4ths take on DLSP for the Metro Division 11 title. Never having won a Leinster Metro title, there is an extra incentive to win for Clon as the Cup on offer is named after Chris Stapleton, a long-time stalwart of the Club, father of Eamonn and John & grandfather of Matt. 
Clon were unlucky last year in their attempts to claim the trophy, losing out to a strong Kilkenny side in the final but Brendan Ward’s men have built up a head of steam over the past 3 months and are determined to finish out this league campaign with the top honors. Also kicking off at 12 midday on Saturday, Clondalkin 3rds can avoid the drop to Metro Division 9 by beating AIB in a relegation play-off decider.

This is the 90th running of the Towns Cup, sponsored by Bank of Ireland, and on offer for the winner is one of the oldest trophies in Irish Rugby, dating all the way back to 1889. We would encourage all Club members and anyone who would like to see what Club rugby is all about to get up to Gordon Park and give Clondalkin their full support as they seek to continue their strong finish to the season and claim a semi-final spot. Kick off is at 3pm.
