Midland Warriors to officially name pitches at 'milestone event'
Midland Warriors will host a major milestone event on Sunday as the rugby club prepares to officially name its two playing pitches at Bawnoges, Moate.
The club's newly developed grounds on the outskirts of Moate will host a day of activity to mark the occasion starting at 10am with U8 and U10 girls' blitzes with participating teams from the Midlands region.
The club will reveal the official names of its two new playing pitches at 12.30pm approximately and this will be followed by two Leinster League fixtures. The club's senior women's team entertain Emerald Warriors RFC at 1pm, while the senior men's team will play Portarlington at 3pm.
In a social media post the club said the major milestone event is "a major step in our club’s growth and future".
"We’d love to see everyone there at some point during the day to celebrate this exciting chapter together. Come along, bring your family and friends, and be part of history," the club stated.
There will be much fun for all the family during the day with inflatables, face painting and music. Food and hot drinks will be in bountiful supply, with live music adding to the major milestone event which is open to all.
