Davy Wilson from Larne RFC is about to embark on a 500 km sponsored cycle in aid of the IRFU Charitable Trust and Larne RFC Youth Development Funds. The cycle will take place in Switzerland on Tuesday 25th – Sunday 30th August, travelling from Romanshorn, Switzerland to Thollon Les Memises, Geneva.

It is a sad fact of everyday life that people suffer personal injuries through accidents in their homes, workplace, on our streets and roads and also in the pursuit of leisure activities and sports.  In this regard rugby is no different from any other contact sport and unfortunately player injuries occur from time to time.  Such injuries can be of a very serious nature, resulting in permanent disability in some cases.

The Irish Rugby Football Union Charitable Trust was formed in 1978 to assist severely injured rugby players in their everyday lives, and help to restore their confidence and independence.

There are currently 33 seriously injured players registered with the Charitable Trust in Ireland, most of whom are wheelchair bound . . .
