The 'Try Rugby Summer Camp' for national school children proved a big draw recently at Dubarry Park and a second camp takes place in Dubarry Park next week from Monday, August 16th to Friday 20th. This is organised by the Irish Rugby Institute and will provide separate coaching camps for teenagers and younger rugby enthusiasts. The 'Mini' camp is for ages 5 to 11 and seems primarily aimed to encourage their enjoyment of rugby whilst practicing passing and kicking as well as having fun making new friends.

The 'Academy' camp is geared for those aged 12 to 18 who may be a bit more serious about their rugby. Skills, psychology and conditioning will be among the areas covered by their coaches, including former Buccaneers favourite CHRIS KEANE, who won a Heineken Cup with Leinster in 2009. Enrollment forms are available at The Bounty or applications can be emailed online to info@rugbyinstitute.com
