(JAN 18) ENFIELD IGNATIANS will finally kick-start the New Year with a home clash, otherwise known as the Lucas Yoxall Memorial Match, against St Albans at Donkey Lane on Saturday 18 January. The game kicks-off at 2pm.
The fixture will honour the memory of one of the club’s brightest young prospects, Lucas Yoxall, who was cruelly taken from us a year ago, and it will also coincide with a President’s Lunch (midday meet for 12.30 sit down).
Ignatians had been due to play their first game of the New Year on January 11 but the intended away fixture against UCS Rugby had to be postponed because of the big freeze. This game will now be played on Saturday 22 February.
Incidentally, the away game against Old Millhillians, which was postponed in December owning to the ravages of Storm Darragh, has been rescheduled for Saturday week (Jan 25).
The EIRFC squad (tbc) is Carl Asare-Anderson, Frazer Briers, Wesley Chase, Ryan Loo. Timi Sanusi, Paul Duke, Dan Shaw, Finlay Mackay, Sam Hatchett, Nathaniel Clarke, Calum Middleton, Jake Baker, Liam Horn, Euan Renny (cpt), Sam Rushmer, Caolan Davey, Declan Linnane, Alfie Fordham.
