Don't tweet about it or hashtag it after. Just call someone and ask how they are. You might save a life.
Our deepest sympathies go to the parents and families of Andrew O'Donnell and Max Wall, who died tragically in Greece on Sunday. Andrew's dad Gavin and grandfather Joe O'Donnell are members & great supporters of UCC RFC. May Andrew & Max rest peacefully.

Number eight John Hodnett, who came through

The decoy line from David Hawkshaw gives him space for a huge carry here, offloads accurately too.

The game between UCC and UCD was played in great spirit but there are more important things in life. The teams took a moment to remember the victims of the Ukraine conflict.

Former captain Paul Derham also included! ☠️⚫️🔴 🏉
