UCC Rugby has announced its team for the Blackrock College vs UCC Rugby game on Saturday 29th November. Selected at Number 8 is current Ireland International and Munster Rugby player Alex Kendellen. Alex has not been named in a Munster matchday squad so far this current URC season; he has been out with an ankle injury and only recently returned to training.

UCC Women's Rugby emerged victorious yesterday at St. Clare's DCU after a pulsating drama-filled overtime game. UCC tied up the game to send it to overtime and repeated the feat again in overtime by scoring a late try to win. Congratulations to all involved.

It was a day never to be forgot by those who were at the Mardyke on Saturday. 120 folks attended the pre-match lunch that honoured the Munster Junior Cup wining team of 1975, the Munster Minor B League winning Bulldogs of 1985, the Jerry Walsh family led by Lea Walsh and family and the new sponsorship of the Moss Keane Scholarship.

Ulysses S. Grant was resident in the White House, Queen Victoria sat on the throne in England, and Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days was first published in 1872 - the same year Queen’s College Cork published its first rulebook for playing rugby in Cork.

Now UCC Rugby is to celebrate its storied history with a season of celebrations to mark its 150th anniversary.

UCC Rugby have been kindly sponsored a club van, courtesy of the generous sponsorship of Johnson & Perrott Motors.
