Dunmore RFC are delighted to launch an innovative charity challenge to raise money for Pieta House — Connacht Rugby’s official charity
partner — and the club. The ‘Push4Pieta’ event will see Dunmore RFC push their scrum machine over 33km, from outside the Pieta house building in Tuam to the Sportsground, ahead of Connacht’s PRO12 game with Leinster on April 15.
Teams of pushers will take it in turns to push the hefty machine down the N17 before a quick lap of Eyre Square and Shop Street and one final push
into the Sportsground.
Along with raising much needed awareness and funds for Pieta House, the event is also part of Dunmore RFC’s continued drive to build playing
numbers at the club and fundraise.
It will be a very difficult challenge but Dunmore RFC President Jimmy Coen is delighted the club have spearheaded such an initiative when he spoke to Ollie Turner.
