With the loosening of restrictions brings the dusting down of the tuxes and suits with the return of the Lansdowne Three Castle Ball. With a successful inaugural event all the way back in 2019, its second coming has been on somewhat of a back burner while other matters took priority.

The night promises to live up to the expectation as players and plus ones don the red carpet once again with live music, DJ’s, sit down meals, awards and even after party locations for the late stayers ready to go.

The ball falls on the weekend of a crunch AIL match as the weekend is brought in with a derby game against near neighbours Clontarf and with the strong attendances to date, this promises to be a weekend for the diary across the club with Ireland and Italy capping off the Sunday in the Aviva stadium.

Looking forward to seeing many of you across the weekend
