Years involved in Rugby/Associated with NRRFC:  Current season is my 20th pulling on a jersey with Ross

Club Role:  Club Captain

Best moment seen in rugby:  Watching the Haka live always gives me goose bumps but tops has to be in Croke Park 2007. Standing on Hill 16, Ire vs Eng, for Amhrán na bhFiann was unforgettable.

Favourite Club moment:  Fourths winning the Michael Dunne Cup in 2013. Watching some of our club greats getting their hands on silverware seeing what it still meant to them was brilliant

Proudest Individual NRRFC moment: Everytime I lead out the team. Captaining and representing this club is a huge honour for me

If you were to describe NRRFC to someone what would you say:  Like a family.

And Finally tell us something about yourself that people might not know: I’m a Trekkie! I even went to 2 Star Trek conventions when i was (a lot) younger….
