2022 Munster Rugby Awards

The winners of the 2022 Munster Rugby Awards have today been confirmed with Keanes Jewellers trophies presented to clubs and individuals across the professional and domestic game.

The first award confirmed was the Club Mini Section of the Year with more award-winners to be announced this afternoon.

Club Mini Section Of The Year – Old Crescent RFC

The Old Crescent RFC mini section has grown considerably in the last few years to 300 players. Fielding at all levels from U6 through U12, the player numbers include 60 girls at U8, U10 and U12 age groups since girls-only teams were introduced in the 2019/20 season.

The Club works closely with local primary schools and provide introduction to rugby and coaching to them through the Munster Rugby CCRO program.  They also host an annual Bank of Ireland Munster Rugby Summer Camp, and this year also hosted the highly successful Aviva Minis, as well as being strong advocates of the IRFU ‘Give It A Try’ initiative.

With a strong focus on building relationships between the senior and junior sections of Old Crescent, which includes getting senior players involved in training with underage teams, they have also introduced a mini blitz for boys and girls as a warm-up to AIL matches so that all can participate on match days.

As the club moves towards its 75th anniversary year they can look forward to continued strong growth and participation of its age-grade section.
