Seapoint Rugby Club (Seapoint) and the Dublin Rebels American Football Club (The Rebels) have signed an agreement to allow the Rebels full access and use of Seapoint Killbogget Park Clubhouse, Pitches and facilities.
The agreement was made possible as the Rebels training sessions and matches days differ from those of Seapoint with the Rebels having the match days on Sunday while Seapoint AIL matches are on Saturday. Seapoint’s 3 fully floodlight pitches and training area, extensive gym facilities and clubhouse make this an ideal opportunity to share resources and increase the awareness of American Football in South County Dublin
The Rebels will also have full access to the clubhouse facility and again will fill gaps where the clubhouse is not well used on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. The Rebels are also committed to hosting a number of fund raising events in the club house. The agreement is for one year initially with the goal to extend it for a longer period assuming that it works well for both clubs. The goal will be to further integrate as much as possible if the first year goes well.
“We are very pleased with this agreement as it will ensure our facilities are more extensively used and will add to the diversity in Seapoint positioning us firmly as a community club” said John Power, President Seapoint Rugby Club. “The Dublin Rebels have been looking for a South Dublin base for many years. We are delighted to be able to call Seapoint Rugby Club our home and look forward to building a strong relationship with Seapoint in the coming years “ Said Michael Clarke, Dublin Rebels Development Officer.
