Notes for 8th June 2020.

DAN O’DOWD RIP

BUCCANEERS RFC mourns the recent passing of Dan O’Dowd. Dan was
Senior captain of Athlone Rugby Football Club for the seasons 1963/66, the
first player to skipper the club for three years. Sincere condolences are
extended to his wife Emer, sons Shane and Alastair, and extended family. May
he rest in eternal peace.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Annual General Meeting of Buccaneers Rugby Football Club is currently
scheduled to take place on Tuesday, June 30 th at 8 p.m. Due to Covid-19 restrictions
the AGM will be held virtually on Microsoft Team App. All paid up members can
participate and they should have received notification from the club at this stage. If
they wish to ‘attend virtually’, members should return their email address to
rugby@dubarrypark.com as soon as possible. Nominations and/or Motions should

16 th .

WOMENS TEAM SEEKING COACH

Buccaneers Womens team are inviting applications for the role of Head Coach. The
successful candidate should have previous experience with excellent organisational
skills. He/she should have the ability to develop a positive training environment with
drive and ambition. Ideally the Head Coach can integrate and develop players from
our U-18’s into the adult squad.
For further information, contact Buccaneers Womens team manager Sandra Feary
at sandrafeary@gmail.com or by mobile 0861670349.

THE BOUNTY REOPENING

While at time of writing the IRFU has not yet advised date for return to rugby activity,
hopefully, training will resume very soon. Tag and Touch Rugby are likely to be the
first codes of rugby to recommence so Buccaneers Tag Summer League may yet
take place. Recruitment and retention of players is ongoing under new Head Coach
Kolo Kiripati. Meanwhile, some better news is that the restaurant at The Bounty is
set to reopen on Monday, June 29 th . That will bring some normality around Dubarry
Park and here’s looking forward to your support of the venue.
