Enniscorthy RFC vs Thomond

At Alcast Park · Alcast Park, Ross Road, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford

All-Ireland League rugby at Alcast Park, Enniscorthy

What to Expect

Enniscorthy RFC host Limerick side Thomond at Alcast Park on Saturday 3 October, kick off 14:30, in an All-Ireland League Division 2 fixture. Enniscorthy is one of the more decorated club sides in the county’s rugby history: founded in 1912, the club has won the All-Ireland Junior Cup twice, in 2014 and 2016, and the Leinster Provincial Towns Cup on multiple occasions, including 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2019, and it was named club of the year at the 2022 Guinness Rugby Writers Awards. The team was promoted into the AIL after finishing top of its division in the 2024/25 season, so fixtures against established Munster clubs like Thomond represent a step up in competition that the club and its supporters have been building towards.

Alcast Park, the club’s home ground on the Ross Road, is a proper senior rugby venue rather than a purely social one, reflecting the step up to All-Ireland League rugby, which is the top tier of the domestic club game below the professional provinces. Saturday afternoon AIL fixtures here draw a committed local crowd, and the club runs a season ticket covering all nine AIL home games at Alcast Park, which points to admission for a single match being in the region of €10 on the gate. Given the higher standard of rugby on show compared to junior league games elsewhere in the county, this is one of the better fixtures in the Wexford sporting calendar for anyone who wants to see senior interprovincial level club rugby without travelling to Dublin, Cork or Limerick.
