PRESIDENT’s<br />
WELCOME<br />
THank You To Our Partners for<br />
their continued support<br />
To all supporters,<br />
I’m delighted to welcome you to<br />
Dexcom Stadium today for our latest<br />
BKT United Rugby Championship fixture<br />
against Zebre Parma from Italy. I hope<br />
you have a pleasant and enjoyable<br />
evening at the home of rugby in<br />
Connacht.<br />
Today marks the start of the ‘Race to<br />
the Eight’, with Connacht competing<br />
with the other teams in a tightly<br />
contested league for a place in the endof-season<br />
playoffs, and with it a spot<br />
in next season’s Champions Cup. There<br />
are just 5 games remaining and this is<br />
our 2nd last home game of the season,<br />
so every point counts between now and<br />
the end of May.<br />

As is the case in sport there have<br />
been ups and downs so we last spoke.<br />
Undoubtedly the highlight was a<br />
fabulous win away in Pau in the Round<br />
of 16 in the Challenge Cup. Away<br />
wins in knockout rugby are very rare<br />
but the team put together a brilliant<br />
performance for the huge numbers of<br />
travelling supporters.<br />
While they came up second best against<br />
a strong Benetton team a week later in<br />
roasting hot conditions, they should be<br />
proud of their performances of the last<br />
few weeks which has included 3 long<br />
trips to France and Italy.<br />
make great strides in the Six Nations this<br />
year. They have a tough trip to England<br />
this week but the result against Wales<br />
last weekend was very encouraging,<br />
particularly the performances of the<br />
Connacht contingent. We wish them well<br />
for the remainder of the campaign.<br />
Dexcom Stadium has been awash with<br />
activity the last few weeks with a plethora<br />
of club and schools finals. They continue<br />
tomorrow with the first set of Bank of<br />
Ireland Boys Cup Final, so why not pop in<br />
if you’re around? The stars of the future<br />
would love the support.<br />
Visitors to the ground will see huge<br />
strides made in the redevelopment<br />
work on the old side pitch, which will<br />
soon become the venue of our new<br />
high performance centre. Every time<br />
we drive down College Road we’re<br />
reminded of the exciting days we have<br />
ahead of us as a club.<br />
The Irish Women’s team continue to<br />
Finally I’d like to welcome Zebre to the<br />
West of Ireland. We hope you have a safe<br />
and enjoyable few days here in Galway and<br />
we look forward to returning the favour<br />
next season in Parma.<br />

PROUD TITLE SPONSOR OF THE<br />
BKT UNITED RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP
partnership news<br />
Bank of Ireland today announced a five-<br />
Bank of Ireland this week announced a<br />
5-year extension of its partnership with<br />
Connacht Rugby to run until 2028.<br />
The Bank has an association with the<br />
province dating back to 2018, and today’s<br />
announcement reaffirms the Bank’s<br />
commitment to the game.<br />
The enhanced partnership agreement,<br />
building on the recently announced national<br />
partnership with the Irish Rugby Football<br />
Union, will see Bank of Ireland extend<br />
its support for both the Connacht Men’s<br />
and Women’s teams, as well as a range of<br />
grassroots competitions across the various<br />
age grade competitions in Connacht.<br />
The new agreement represents the most<br />
comprehensive partnership of Men’s and<br />
Women’s sport in Ireland, representing<br />
a significant investment by the Bank in<br />
ensuring that rugby continues to thrive all<br />
over the island of Ireland. It will see Bank<br />
of Ireland deepen its support for Connacht<br />
Rugby and the other provinces at all levels<br />
of the game.<br />
It is further strengthened by the Bank’s<br />
ongoing commitment to the growth of<br />
domestic rugby competitions including the<br />
Connacht Men’s and Women’s League, Cup<br />
and Plate competitions. Underage rugby<br />
is a key feature of this agreement with<br />
Bank of Ireland continuing to support the<br />
Boys’ and Girls’ Cup competitions across<br />
a range of age grades which will continue<br />
to make a positive contribution to sporting<br />
communities in Connacht.<br />
Speaking at the official launch of the<br />
Connacht Rugby sponsorship extension,<br />
Laura Lynch, Bank of Ireland Chief Marketing<br />
Officer said: “Bank of Ireland’s commitment<br />
to supporting Connacht Rugby has steadily<br />
grown since 2018, and we are thrilled to<br />
extend our Connacht Rugby partnership<br />
for another five years. It’s an exciting<br />
time for rugby in the province, with major<br />
developments currently underway, and we<br />
are thrilled to be part of this growth story<br />
for another five-years.”<br />
“Through our sponsorship we aim to support<br />
the growth and development of the game,<br />
building on existing successes and ensuring<br />
that players from all over the island of<br />
Ireland, from local schools and clubs all the<br />
way up to the men’s and women’s provincial<br />
and national sides have every opportunity to<br />
#neverstopcompeting.”<br />
Willie Ruane, CEO of Connacht Rugby said;<br />
“This is a significant year for investment into<br />
Connacht Rugby, and the welcome support<br />
of our longstanding partners is crucial to<br />
the future success of rugby in the west<br />
of Ireland. We welcome Bank of Ireland’s<br />
continued support of rugby in Connacht,<br />
from the grassroots all the way up to the<br />
Senior sides. With the Bank’s support, we<br />
look forward to making further investments<br />
in our player pathways and Professional<br />
and Women’s squads, that will help drive<br />
the growth of rugby across the province for<br />
years to come.”<br />

Player PREVIEW<br />
“I just love playing and being out<br />
on the pitch with the lads”<br />
“The big games like these are the<br />
games you want to play in”<br />
“There’s a buzz in these games that<br />
just give you that extra kick”<br />
“From previous interpro derbies<br />
you have to take a quick moment<br />
and look around just to see what<br />
size the crowd is”<br />
“I know it gets said a lot but a full<br />
house at The Sportsground and<br />
the crowd doing their thing really<br />
makes you think you’re plaiying in<br />
front of three or four times more<br />
people in he stands than what there<br />
is”<br />
The last five meeting between these<br />
two teams have seen very little in<br />
the outcome and no doubt today’s<br />
game will be a huge battle.<br />
“Munster are coming up here as<br />
defending champions”<br />
“They have a lot of injuries but they<br />
have a strong squad and players just<br />
waiting to take their chance”<br />
“We’re confident against any team<br />
we play but we also respect every<br />
team we play”<br />
Having joined in the 2022/23<br />
season, Shamus Hurley-Langton<br />
has become a fan favourite<br />
around The Sportsground and a<br />
coach and players dream to work<br />
with during his time out west.<br />
Also known as ‘Moose’, our kiwi<br />
flanker continues to grow in the<br />
green jersey.<br />
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here”<br />
“I came over here wanting to<br />
play but I knew I needed to prove<br />
myself and take my chance when<br />
it came”<br />
“That drive still continues for me<br />
though”<br />
“Each week I need keep proving<br />
myself and make sure I perform<br />
when I get the chance”<br />
“We have a lot of quality players in<br />
the back row and that really helps<br />
the competition and keeping us all<br />
on our toes”<br />
Having played 28 times for<br />
Connacht so far and scoring five<br />
tries (three this season), Moose is<br />
looking forward to this inetrpro<br />
derby on New Years Day.
PLAYER PREVIEW<br />
The current Connacht squad has<br />
plenty of talent to choose from,<br />
especially the younger group who<br />
come from the province like Cathal<br />
Forde, Darragh Murray and Matthew<br />
and Shane. A group that have got to<br />
gel coming up through the ranks.<br />
“Myself, Mattie (Devine) and Colm<br />
(Reilly) all grew up together and went<br />
to the same school” said Jennings<br />
contract with the club. He spoke<br />
about becoming a professional.<br />
“I was delighted to sign my first<br />
contract”<br />
“There was a lot of hard work to get<br />
here”<br />
“I’ve been playing since I was four or<br />
five”<br />
Ballinasloe is a town in East Galway<br />
that has plenty to be proud of, one<br />
of many being the number of players<br />
they have invloved with Connacht<br />
Rugby and the Irish Rugby women’s<br />
squad.<br />
On the international front, recent<br />
weeks have seen Beibhinn Parsons and<br />
Méabh Deely pull on the green jersey<br />
for Ireland in the Six Nations while<br />
Matthew Devine, Shane Jennings and<br />
Oisin McCormack represent the town<br />
in Pete Wilkins squad.<br />
Last Sunday in Treviso, Shane Jennings<br />
started on the wing while Matthew<br />
came on at scrum half. The two men<br />
spoke to media today as Connacht<br />
get ready for Zebre this Saturday at<br />
Dexcom Stadium (Tickets on sale).<br />
“Sunday was tough to take but<br />
thankfully we have a chance to play<br />
again this weekend and show what<br />
we’re about” said Devine<br />
Shane Jennings also gave his view on<br />
the game in Italy.<br />
“It was was very hot and not ideal for a<br />
man of my complextion”<br />
“We were disappointed with the result<br />
obvisouly”<br />
“We know there’s so much more we<br />
could have done better in that game<br />
but the game is gone now”<br />
“If we look at the positives though,<br />
coming away from Benetton with four<br />
tries is good going”<br />
“Cathal (Forde) and Darragh (Murray)<br />
we have been playing with since we<br />
were sixteen”<br />
“We’ve gone from fighting with each<br />
other at minis and the whole way up<br />
throught the underage ranks, we<br />
are very good mates and it is very<br />
enjoyable to play alongside them”<br />
Last week it was announced that<br />
Matthew signed his first professional<br />
“Dad got me into playing the game<br />
and I loved it”<br />
“When you get to that stage of<br />
playing U18/19 with Connacht and<br />
then play with the Irish underage<br />
teams you start to think that this is<br />
a path I can go down”<br />
“I’m grateful that I have got this<br />
chance and look forward to it”

CLUB & COMMUNITY<br />
This Sunday, 21st April sees the next<br />
round of Bank of Ireland Club and<br />
Schools finals in Dexcom Stadium<br />
with the Youth Boys Cup Finals.<br />
The U14 Boys’ Cup Final will take place<br />
at 12:00 PM followed by the U16 Boys’<br />
Cup Final at 1:30 PM and the U18.5<br />
Boys’ Cup Final at 3:30 PM.<br />
The first final of the day is the Bank of<br />
Ireland U14 Boys’ Cup Final which will<br />
see Ballinasloe RFC take on last year’s<br />
U13 Cup runners-up, Creggs RFC. The<br />
two sides met in early October in the<br />
U14 League where Ballinasloe seized a<br />
decisive victory. However, both teams<br />
finished top 3 in Division 1, proving to<br />
both be extremely competitive sides and<br />
they faced off again in the league final in<br />
Dubarry Park.<br />
Ballinasloe once again claimed the<br />
victory, but Creggs made it a lot more<br />
difficult, keeping them within 5 points.<br />
Creggs were drawn into Pool A for the<br />
Cup while Ballinasloe were in Pool B,<br />
meaning the sides have not faced off on<br />
the pitch since the League final.<br />
Both teams were very impressive in the<br />
cup with clean slates. Creggs saw a<br />
strong Carrick on Shannon RFC side in<br />
their away semi-final where they came<br />
out with an impressive 29-17 win to see<br />
them into the Cup final. Ballinasloe,<br />
meanwhile, faced Corinthians RFC<br />
in their away semi-final where they<br />
cemented their spot in the final with a<br />
39-7 win. Sure to be an electric final,<br />
make sure to get your ticket ahead of<br />
time. The Bank of Ireland U14 Boys’ Cup<br />
Final is at 12:00 PM on Sun, 21st April in<br />
Dexcom Stadium.<br />
The second final of the day will see the<br />
first of a Buccaneers RFC vs Sligo Rugby<br />
double header in the Bank of Ireland<br />
U16 Boys’ Cup Final. Buccaneers,<br />
having had players involved in both the<br />
U15 and U16 Cup winning teams last<br />
year, will be veterans in the workings<br />
of finals days in Dexcom Stadium.<br />
Buccaneers fielded two teams in the<br />
U16 league – Buccaneers Black finished<br />
2nd in Division 1 and ended up winning<br />
the Division 1 League final against<br />
an incredibly strong Creggs White<br />
side after a semi-final win against an<br />
impressive Galway Bay side.<br />
Buccaneers Yellow finished 3rd in<br />
Division 2 Pool B. In an incredible Cup<br />
campaign across the board, Buccaneers<br />
faced a talented Carrick on Shannon<br />
RFC side in their away semi-final with a<br />
thrilling 19-12 win. Sligo just missed out<br />
on the Division 1 final after an 8-7 loss<br />
to Creggs White. Coming back even<br />
stronger in the Cup campaign, Sligo<br />
only recorded 1 loss against Creggs<br />
and went on to win their away semifinal<br />
against Corinthians with an 18-14<br />
victory. Two very exciting young teams<br />
who are sure to show amazing displays<br />
of rugby, Sunday’s final is a game not<br />
to be missed. The Bank of Ireland U16<br />
Boys’ Cup Final is at 1:30 PM on Sun,<br />
21st April in Dexcom Stadium.<br />
The third, and last, final of the day<br />
will once again see Buccaneers RFC<br />
take on last year’s U18 Cup winners<br />
Sligo Rugby in a rematch of the Bank<br />
of Ireland U18.5 Boys’ Cup Final. Both<br />
Buccaneers and Sligo finished in the<br />
middle of the table with Buccaneers just<br />
missing out on a league final with a 28-<br />
23 away semi-final loss to Galwegians<br />
RFC. Both teams turned their results<br />
around, both keeping clean slates in<br />
the Cup campaign.<br />
Buccaneers recorded wins over Tuam/<br />
Dunmore RFC and Carrick on Shannon<br />
RFC while Sligo overcame Westport<br />
RFC and Loughrea RFC. Buccaneers<br />
faced Ballina RFC in a thriller of a Cup<br />
semi-final which ended with a scoreline<br />
of 13-13 after the final whistle with<br />
the decider coming down to first try<br />
scorers. Sligo saw Galwegians in their<br />
home semi-final where they showed<br />
their skills, coming away with a 19-15<br />
win. No strangers to each other, this<br />
is sure to be a fabulous game of rugby<br />
by the two sides in what will be a hotly<br />
contested final. The Bank of Ireland<br />
U18.5 Boys’ Cup Final is at 3:30 PM on<br />
Sun, 21st April in Dexcom Stadium.<br />
Fans are encouraged to buy their<br />
tickets in advance as all 2024 finals will<br />

Where does the taste start?<br />
Perhaps it's in our smoke house where we only use the best beech wood.<br />
Or that it all comes from the one farm in Wexford.<br />
Maybe it's the Irish Atlantic sea salt, the perfect complement to<br />
ensure the perfect Carty cure every time.<br />
But why not try it for yourself and let your own taste decide?<br />
