Tralee RFC hosted its
first, of a number, of major day festivals of mini rugby on Saturday 26th Feb
in O’Dowd Park with three Cork
clubs visiting for the day.Over 180
children from U8 to U12 descended on the club from the Cork clubs of Bandon, Charleville and Mallow
and the invasion was met with the strength expected by any Kerry side on the
field of play. New photos added March 3rd

Over the last number
of years Tralee has been adopted by the South Munster area for their mini
meetings and as visitors foraying into the Rebel County
we have acquitted ourselves well on the playing field.Normally the early part of our season now
involves a lot of travel visiting the southern clubs and the latter part of the
year involves getting return visits as these clubs like to include Tralee as a venue for their “Club Day Out” and go to one
of the many attractions available after their games.The hospitality the club has always received
is then reciprocated on the return visit and all parents, on both sides of the
borders, must be thanked for the efforts they put in to host the players.
