This season has seen a fresh look for our sides, with the unveiling of new 2nd XV Match Shirts, 2nd XV Warm-Up Tops, and 1st XV Shorts. Each piece carries the logos of local businesses who backed us in our first-ever Kit Sponsor Raffle — not only raising vital funds but giving companies of all sizes a chance to advertise themselves and join the SRUFC Family.

The raffle was a resounding success, with 11 entrants stepping forward to support the club. Every business was guaranteed a position on the kit, and a live draw determined the prime placements. Phoenix Park buzzed with energy, and it reminded us how much our club means to the community.
