Paul Donnellan, Club President, said “Don Reddan was a revered member of our Club and he will be sadly missed. We extend our deepest sympathies to his sons, and to his brother and sister, Pat and Joan, and the wider Reddan family”.
All in Old Crescent are devastated to hear the news of the passing of Terry Brown. Terry joined the Club in the 90s and was part of a very strong AIL team. Terry went on to coach our senior XV and more recently our U11s. Our sincere condolences go to his wife Cliona and family.
The first home Sloop of the season & the first for Ruadhan Quinn after a thrilling victory at Takumi Park. Having been 28-3 down against Nenagh we stormed back to hold on for a 29-28 win. The lads blew the roof off with this rendition & the smiles stayed in place all night long!
His Old Crescent teammates put our Under 20 player, Nesta Nyamakazi, centre stage as they celebrate his Energia AIL senior debut in our 23-18 win over MU Barnhall in Parsonstown yesterday!
Congratulations, Nesta!

So you're 28-3 down at home to Nenagh, 34 mins into the game and you need something, anything! Up steps the Captain Cathal Monaghan. He takes the ball on the halfway line, throws a couple of dummies, evades multiple tackles and touches down to get us back into the game. Legend!!!
The Sloop rings out in UL Pavilion dressing room after Old Crescent’s crushing 32-8 bonus point victory over local rivals UL Bohemians in opening AIL fixture in UL. Well done boys!
