Club Origins
In the mid 1940s Rev. J.G. Guinane S J. arrived to teach in Crescent College S.J. Limerick. A charismatic individual with a whiff of excitement about him, he had been in action during the war as a Chaplain with the Royal Ulster Rifles. He was passionate about the game of rugby and probably Old Crescent Rugby Football Club owes its existence to ”The Ginner“ as he came to be called. Ta

🏉➡️🏈 Everyone at Old Crescent RFC would like to wish Glen Kelly the very best of luck as he swaps the rugby ball for the pigskin!
Glen has been awarded a scholarship with Brevard in North Carolina, having been scouted through the Leaderkicking programme.
It’s a fantastic opportunity for Glen as he sets his sights on becoming the next big kicker in American football. We’re incredibly proud of him and look forward to following his journey in the United States.
Best of luck, Glen—go make your mark!

Sun is Up, but Clinic Attendance is Down
While the recent warm weather has been a welcome treat, the rise in temperatures has unfortunately led to a drop-off in clinic attendance. Despite the sunshine, the demand for blood from hospital patients has not changed.
Patients undergoing surgeries, cancer treatments, and emergency care rely on a steady supply of blood every single day, regardless of the weather.
Donate Before You Pack Your Bags
With the holiday season in full swing, many regular donors are preparing to head away. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is appealing to anyone planning a trip to please make time to donate before you go on holiday.
Please phone 1800 222 111 to make an appointment.
