Rugby club history was made on the double as the Flogas-sponsored Galway Corinthians U20s became:

  • The first ever non-Leinster team to win the U20s Leinster Division 2 League
  • The first non-Leinster team invited to play in the prestigious McCorry Cup (Leinster U20s Division 1)

The team was presented with the JP Fanagan Premier 2 Cup after their final game of the season against UCD B on Sunday, 10th March 2024. Fullback Dylan Joyce was named Man of the Match.

“I’m immensely proud of the lads. To be the first Connacht U20 team to win at this level is huge and it’s a very special occasion for the club. The future of rugby, not only in Corinthians, but in the whole of Connacht is very bright!”

Anthony Leifi, U20 Head Coach, Galway Corinthians RFC

This marks the third season of Flogas sponsorship for the club. John O’Donoghue, Commercial Director at Flogas, was present to witness the historic win.

“We wouldn’t be here today without our incredible sponsors, especially our main sponsor Flogas. We were delighted to have John O’Donoghue of Flogas with us on the day to celebrate our win and we are seriously grateful for their generosity over the past three seasons.”

Coach Anthony Leifi

“The Galway Corinthians Under 20s team play all their away games in Leinster, and this involves a great deal of commitment and travel from everyone involved. We’re delighted their hard work has paid off and that they’re blazing a trail for other Connacht clubs. Their success is also thanks to the dedication of backroom staff and coaches Anthony Leifi and Morgan Ó Conghaile, and team manager Maggie Newell. We wish them all the best next season!”
