  • Football Club Years Of
    125YEARS OF Cork Constitution FOOTBALL CLUB Edmund Van Esbeck Published by Cork Constitution Football Club, Temple Hill, Cork. Tel: 021 4292 563 i Cork Constitution Football Club wishes to sincerely thank the author, Edmund Van Esbeck and gratefully acknowledges the assistance of the following in the publication of this book: PHOTOGRAPHS Irish Examiner Archieve Sportsfile Photography Inpho Photography Colin Watson Photographey,Montreal, Canada John Sheehan Photography KR Events Martin O’Brien The Framemaker Club Members © Copyright held by suppliers of photographs GRAPHIC DESIGN Nutshell Creative Communication PRINTER Watermans Printers, Little Island, Co. Cork. ii AUTHORS NOTE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT When the Cork Constitution Club celebrated the centenary of its foundation I had the privilege of writing the history. Now I have been entrusted with updating that chronicle. While obviously the emphasis will be on the events of the last twenty-five years - the most momentous period in the history of rugby union - as a tribute to the founding fathers, the first chapter of the original history will yet again appear. While it would not be practical to include a detailed history of the first 100 years chapter two is a brief resume of the achievements of the first fifty years and likewise chapter three embraces the significant events of the second fifty years in the illustrious history of one of Ireland’s great sporting institutions. There follows the detailed history and achievements, and they were considerable, of the last twenty five years. I owe a considerable debt of gratitude to many people for their help during the compilation of this book. In that regard I would particularly like to thank Noel Walsh, the man with whom I liaised during the writing of the book.

Foreword by John Douglas, Chairman of the Adult Competition Review Steering Group 1.1 Over the quarter of a century since competitive league rugby was introduced, much has changed within rugby and in society as a whole. Within rugby, anecdotal and statistical evidence indicates that most clubs field fewer teams now than they once did. The socio-economic environment in which our clubs operate has changed beyond all recognition and the pace of change is likely to continue to increase. With it the requirements of players, supporters and club administrators – in other words, our customers – will also change. Predicting and satisfying those future requirements has been the overriding concern of this review.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.

  • Mbe for Maggie Active Rugby
    August 2012 Issue 148 The Official Newspaper of The RFU and RFUW BEAUMONT MBE FOR MAGGIE Julia Hutton BECOMES England Women’s flanker Margaret Alphonsi was recently honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. One of the most well-known names in women’s rugby, with RFU her barnstorming performances during the 2010 Rugby World Cup earning her fans all around the world, the 28 year old was honoured for her services to rugby. CHAIRMAN Making her debut as a 19 year old against the USA in 2003, Alphonsi now has an impressive 63 caps and has played in two XVs Rugby World Cups (2006 & 2010) where England finished second to New Zealand on both occasions. She also featured in the inaugural 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, where England lifted the Plate. Most recently, Alphonsi was part of the England team that defeated the world champions New Zealand in an historic three-Test series last autumn, as well as helping England to a record-breaking seventh consecutive Six Nations title, and a sixth Grand Slam in seven years. England also became the first team in Six Nations history not to concede a try in that tournament. “I’m so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen,” said Alphonsi. “What makes it so special is that it doesn’t just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team – I wouldn’t have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFU and my England teammates.
