Longford Rugby grows from 60 kids to 400 through school programmes

Aegon Clarke, a CCRO (Community Coach Rugby Outreach) with Longford Rugby, has overseen a dramatic expansion of youth participation in the sport. Through a structured TAG (Try and Get) introduction programme delivered to schools across Longford county, participation has grown from 60-70 children to over 400 in recent years. Clarke attributes this success to consistent coaching quality and believes the trend will continue.
