Mullingar RFC U10s made the trip from Shay Murtagh Park in Mullingar all the way to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Sunday May 19 to take part in the National Aviva Minis Blitz.

The day included the boys running out on to the famous Lansdowne Road turf, a tour of the Home dressing room but most of all the chance to play four matches against teams all across the country.

The boys had a great day from start to finish and did their club and community proud.
