Dundalk R.F.C

A fitting tribute at last night's AGM as Donal Devenney was presented with a Statue of Cú Chulainn in recognition of his lifetime dedication to Dundalk RFC.

Donal's contribution to the club over many years has been immense. A respected figure throughout the club and a true servant of Dundalk RFC.

A thoroughly deserved honour.

Thank you, Donal. ⚫⚪

Massive congratulations to Dundalk RFC’s Neala Halpin, Hannah McCrink and Penny Sharkey on their selection for the Leinster North East U17 Summer Squad.

A fantastic achievement for all three girls and a brilliant reflection of the hard work and dedication shown all season.

Everyone at Dundalk RFC is incredibly proud and we wish the girls the very best with the North East squad this summer.

🏆 DOUBLE WINNERS 🏆

A massive congratulations to our U14s Boys who were crowned cup champions today in Energia Park 👏

Adding to their league title, this makes it a fantastic league & cup double for the group - a brilliant achievement and fully deserved 💪

Huge credit to players, coaches and supporters on a special day for the club ⚫⚪

Leinster Plate Champions 🏆

A huge day in Energia Park as our Girls U18s produced a sensational 40–34 win over an unbeaten Port Dara side to bring silverware back to Mill Road.

Having already lost to Port Dara earlier in the season, Dundalk knew they would need their very best - and they delivered from the outset. Powerful carries from Lucy Fleming and Eimear Conroy set the tone, while slick handling from Anna Crosgrove sent Katie McDonald over for the opening score - the first of a brilliant hat-trick. Sarah Duffy was flawless from the tee throughout.

The intensity never dropped, with Ellen Bermingham and Erin Roe driving Dundalk forward, while Aoibheann Reilly controlled things superbly at scrum-half. A huge break from Milata Valtertye led to another crucial score, and further excellent play involving Sophie Malone and Lana Cunningham saw McDonald add her second.

Port Dara showed why they came in unbeaten, responding strongly, but Dundalk finished the half in style - Aisling Traynor linking beautifully to send Cliodhna Hanniffy over for a superb try.

The second half was a battle, with Port Dara piling on the pressure. Scores from Valtertye and McDonald (completing her hat-trick) proved vital, but it came down to the final moments where a sensational turnover from Lauren Shevlin ultimately secured the win.

Backed by a huge Dundalk support, the final whistle sparked scenes of pure joy - a fitting end to a fantastic contest.

An incredible team performance.

Leinster Plate Champions. 🖤🤍
