TULLAMORE R.F.C. – Ireland v Samoa on Saturday 13th Nov.
THE AVIVA EXPIERENCE
Tullamore Rugby Club had 280 Youths and Minis players with parents at the match last Saturday in the new Aviva Stadium. Five buses left Spollenstown at 11.30am.
What started as an idea to sell some of the excess tickets for the Samoa game snowballed due to the extremly good value of €25 per ticket, including the bus and the novelty of visiting the brillant new home of Irish Rugby.
The club was so overwhelmed with the demand that they had to source tickets from other clubs to meet the excess applications received. In the end everybody who applied was looked after.
Tullamore U-17 team went one better and organised a game in Dublin against Guinness before heading to Lansdowne Road.
The reports back were that everybody had a great day and thought that the stadium was terrific.
