DLSP First XV

A word from our Captain

It is a great honour for me to captain De La Salle Palmerston RFC and to welcome all our visitors to Kilternan during the the 2000/2001 season.

Following our satisfactory performance last season in our initial year in the AIL 1^st division, we will be looking to consolidate our position as a major force during this years campaign. This presents a big challenge to the entire club both on and off the park, but I'm confident with the depth of talent this club now possesses and the thankless effort of those around us we will all be working tirelessly towards this objective.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all new players and members to the club this season, at whatever level you may participate it is always good to make new friends and a sure sign of a club developing its profile.

A big thanks must go to our many sponsors and advertisers (particularly Pierse Contracting and Standard Life).

Congratulations must go to Declan O'Brien for his Irish 'A' cap and also to Rowan Frost and Shane Stephens for their representatives honours. I would like to wish the best of luck to all our players ad team management and especially to our youth's section for the remainder of the season.

In particular, good luck to Philip Werahiko for his mammoth efforts as 1^st team coach.

Have a great season,
Tony Giles
Club Captain
