- Athboy_RFC abstract "Athboy RFC is an Irish rugby team based in Athboy, County Meath. They play in the Leinster League Div 3 competition organised by the Leinster Branch of the IRFU. The club colours are red, purple and black.HistoryAthboy Rugby Football Club was founded in 1978 and the subsequent years have been tough but rewarding time for those who originally came together in the town with the idea of establishing the oval ball game in the area and indeed the many people who have come along since. Edmund Carroll from Athboy and local Vet Rafe Warner were both instrumental in the formation of the club which boasted, in its first year, one team and about a dozen alickadoos, The initial season of 1978-79 constituted a series of friendlies but in the summer of 1979 the club was officially affiliated to the Leinster Branch of the IRFU.Since 1985 Athboy has had fielded under 10's and 12 teams and this has grown to included under 8's under 14',16's and in 03/04 an Under 18's(in conjunction with Ardee) The 18's went on to win leinster Under 18's Division 1 the same season. Several players have gone on to represent Leinster at several levels including U17,U18,Women's U19, Women's Leinster B and the Senior Leinster Women's Team also former player Richie Feeney(now UL Bohs) made his Ireland U19 debut V England in 2004.Silverware SuccessSuccess on the field has brought home 4 trophies, those 4 triumphs- 3 in the Magee Cup (North-East J3 League) 1987,1988 & 1990 and the Michael Dunne Cup (Provincial J4) in 1982. Playing as a Junior 4 side the club only had to wait 3 seasons before bringing home the first trophy home to the Bawn Inn where the club was then based. It may have taken a replay to see off Kilkenny in the Dunne Cup Final but the 10-6 victory was a great boost for a fledgling club and the Jimmy McCann led XV.With growing success in area and provincial rugby the club sought and was granted by the Leinster Branch a move up to Junior 3 in 1982. A second XV was started and the club boasted up to 40 players and several officials. With the club finding success on the field the decision was taken to locate to a new home and this was achieved when land was acquired on the edge of the town . The 2 teams began playing there in 1986 and over £2000 was spent installing floodlights for training.In the summer of 1999 a meeting was held with the aim of fielding again at senior level this was achieved with a mixture of players who had played both at senior and underage level for the club plus several who had moved into the area and a few new recruits to the oval ball. As with the first team the new team spent its first year playing friendlies and in the 2000-01 season played in the Provincial Thirds League,The Anderson Cup and the Dunne Cup. Womens TeamThe Women's team was also started in 1999-00 season playing a number of friendlies and played in the National Conference in 2000-01. In the 2001-2002 season the women's XV shared the All Ireland League Division 3 title with Trinity College coached by Raymond Finegan. The following year they lost out in an all Meath All Ireland final against NavanThe membership of the club reflects a broad level of interest in rugby throughout the area with players from Athboy,Trim and other parts of South Meath.Athboy RFC Club Presidents1978-1981 Patrick Noonan1981-1984 Jack Ryan1984-1987 Rafe Warner1987-1989 Jack Williams1989-1990 Peter Smith1990-1991 Luke Mahon1991-1992 Michael Brogan (Jnr)1992-1995 Vincent Eivers1995-1997 Jack Williams1997-2000 Padraic Staunton2000-2003 Michael O'Flaherty2003-2006 Bill Daly2006-2008 Padraic Staunton2008-2010 Simon Magnier2010- Seamus Potterton Athboy RFC Captains1978-1981 Oliver Molloy1981-1982 Jimmy McCann1982-1984 Jack Williams1984-1986 Peter Smyth1986-1987 Vincent Eivers1987-1988 Norman Allen1988-1990 Tom Eivers 1990-1991 Niall Brogan 1991-1993 John Joyce1993-1994 Padraig Dixon1994-1998 Tom Eivers1998-1999 Padraig Dixon1999-2000 John Paul Matthews2000-2002 Michael Brogan2002-2003 David Bohan2003-2004 Owen Kerrane2004-2005 Denis Fagan2005-2006 John Paul Matthews2006-2007 David Callaghan2007-2009 Seamus Potterton2009-2010 Simon Barrett2010-2011 Cathal Dempsey2011-2012 Alan Fox2012-2013 Bryan Quirke2013- Ian Douglas Roll of HonourMichael Dunne Cup 1982Magee Cup 1987,1988, 1990, 2010, 2011Women's All Ireland League Division 3 2002Leinster U18's Division 1 2004".
