Lion Luke Fitzgerald opens Edenderry RFC's new facility
IRELAND and Leinster star Luke Fitzgerald was the guest of honour on Sunday as Edenderry RFC held the opening ceremony for the club's new conditioning centre.
The Irish Lion was suitably impressed with the work which has been put into the centre and explained how fitness, especially muscular fitness, plays such an important roll in the modern game of rugby.
The Leinster Branch of the IRFU was represented by the Senior Branch Secretary Mr Des Kavanagh, and the Junior Secretary Mr Trevor Merrey.
Dave Fagan, Derek Maybury, Dermot O'Mahony (all from the Leinster Branch) and the President of Tullamore RFC Mr Sean Joyce were also in attendance.
The day was a great success and was very well supported by the members and supporters of the club and it was a great treat for the upcoming stars of the Edenderry underage teams to meet one of their idols.
