The Galway City Rapparees' will get a historic first season in Senior underway tomorrow afternoon (2.45pm) with a home game against the highly rated Dublin giants Limekiln.
The Galway-based rounders club secured senior status last September when they were crowned All-Ireland Intermediate Men's champions.
Sunday’s game at St Mary’s will be the first of seven for the Galway Club who are in the same group as Limekiln, Breaffy, defending All-Ireland Champions Carrickmacross Emmets from Monaghan, Erne Eagles from Cavan, Raheen from Laois, Glynn Barntown from Wexford and Cuchulainn from Carlow.
The coming season promises to be the busiest in the club’s history.
Galway Rapparees will field five teams across multiple grades, with Senior Men, Intermediate Women, Intermediate Mixed, Junior Men, and Junior Mixed sides all competing. In total, the club is set for up to 40 fixtures across the championship calendar.
Chairperson of The Rapparees Tomas Kenny spoke to John Mulligan and he started by saying it is where they wanted to be, playing senior.
