| 15.05.13 - After 17 years Ed Caraher, our veteran centre retires from senior rugby |
|
| The boyish face in the photo of the 1998 cup final team has decided to hang up the boots. What wonderful service he has rendered to his club over a decade and a half.

| 02.03.13 - Ulster Bank League Division 2B versus Clonakilty RFC |

| 25.02.13 - Ulster Bank League Division 2B versus Rainey Old Boys RFC - Hatrick Park |
|
| Rainey Old Boys 1st XV have led this league from the last whistle on the first day and should win it with just two more wins. They are a powerful side with strong ball carriers in the pack and swift, organised backs, particularly in defence. Coupled with the ‘winning habit’ they will be unstoppable - click here to read the match report | view the league table here |

| 24.01.13 - Goats Swap Shop! |
|
Do you have gear lying around the house still in good condition but too small for the rugby player in your house? Would you like to see it go to a good home? Well help is at hand as Skerries RFC are introducing the Goat Swap Shop. What better way to support your club and watch it grow than to send your outgrown gear to another player.
And if you're looking for a different size in exchange, we'll help find it for you too!
We're collecting all sizes of rugby kit in good condition. Just drop the washed gear into the box beside the shop marked Goat Swap Shop and then keep an eye on the Skerries RFC Facebook page for what we have and come down when we’re open and hopefully you’ll find something for the stretching goat in your house. |
