Wexford Wanderers RFC vs Mullingar

What to Expect

Mullingar are the visitors to O’Driscolls Park on Sunday 18 October as Wexford Wanderers RFC continue their J2 Leinster League Division 1B campaign, with a 15:00 kick off. By mid October the junior league season is well underway, so both sides should have a settled run of form behind them heading into this fixture. Wexford Wanderers were founded back in 1924, making the club one of the longer established rugby names in the county, and their honours list includes the 1930 Leinster Towns Cup, known as the Provincial Towns Cup at the time. The club’s most recognisable former player is Gordon D’Arcy, who won 82 caps for Ireland and toured with the British and Irish Lions after coming through the Wexford Wanderers underage ranks, and the club has also produced current Irish women’s internationals Robyn O’Connor and Katie Fitzhenry.

O’Driscolls Park is a genuine community club ground: alongside the senior men’s team in Division 1B, Wexford Wanderers fields sides from pre mini right up to U18 boys, and a women’s and girls section running from U12 to senior level, so there is usually more going on around the grounds than just the headline fixture. October Sunday afternoons here have the typical rhythm of Irish junior rugby: a competitive 80 minutes on the pitch, followed by tea, sandwiches and a pint in the clubhouse for players, coaches and supporters from both teams. Admission to watch is free, and it is an easy, low pressure way to see live rugby without booking anything in advance.
