Buccaneers RFC has paid a fond tribute to ‘Big Pat’ Hynes, who passed away this week. Mr Hynes was a club stalwart throughout his life, as a player, manager, and in a number of other roles. The club this week described him as “a truly iconic figure in Athlone and Buccaneers rugby for many decades. He was undoubtedly the most loved member in the club, although he would surely squirm at that description.”

Robbie Henshaw recently made a quiet visit to his hometown club where he presented a British & Irish Lions jersey signed by his fellow touring colleagues who are currently preparing for their first test against South Africa on Saturday.

Outgoing Buccaneers RFC President, Patrick O’Meara, welcomed a modest ‘live’ attendance to the club’s AGM held in the Lower Deck at Dubarry Park in recent times.

Outgoing President, Gordon Ballantyne, welcomed a good attendance to the recent Buccaneers Rugby Football Club AGM in The Bounty. The club had mixed success on the playing fields, winning another Connacht Senior League and Cup double but being relegated in the All-Ireland League. Off the playing fields he was pleased to report that the club had “got control of its financial shortfall”, which was one of his key priorities in office.
