Knin Rugby Links
RFC Kilkenny and RK Knin Link
On Thursday May 11th Rugby Club Knin received their first offical kit, a set of senior shirts and shorts sponsored by Kilkenny Rugby Club of Kilkenny, Ireland.  In the presence of members of the Kilkenny Club, including the head of the initiative Mr. Ray Pembroke, Knin Coach Mr. Alan Moore and Ms. Ingrid Szabo of the Croatian Embassy in Dublin, a new set of shirts in the red of Munster were handed over, as well as a training kit for the Knin youth section in the Kilkenny change colours that will prove hugely valuable.  The generosity of the club from the city of the cats will undoubtedly give great reasons for youngsters to keep at the game in Knin!

On Saturday May 27th Rugby Club Knin were hosted by the Munster Rugby Supporters Club and Munster Rugby Branch.  Club Coach Alan Moore attended Munster's final Celtic League game of the 2005-6 season.  The game marked a triumphant homecoming for the Munster players and coaches who only a week earlier had battled to a historic victory in the Heineken European Cup Final against Biarritz in Cardiff.

Mr. Moore was accompanied by members of the Croatian Embassy including Ms. Szabo and met with the Munster President and Vice-President to discuss the future links with Knin.  Many thanks must go out to Mrs. Trish Brewitt and Ms. Trish Tynan for their help and assistance, especially to Mrs. Brewitt for her continuing efforts to collect equipment for Knin Rugby Club.
