An Overview                                                       

In this section we will hopefully provide you with as much detail as we can of the history of Skibbereen RFC. Mind you historical data is never complete and there will always remain some few gems that tend to surface well after the events – so if there is anyone out there with additional data we would be delighted to hear from you.

We are grateful indeed to our long standing and founder member John Wolfe who has provided the Club with a fascinating account of the early years of rugby in Skibbereen – beginning at the formation of the present Club in the 1950’s.

We are also grateful to the late Liam O’Regan – Owner and Editor of the Southern Star newspaper who was very much involved in the administration of the Club even right up to his passing.  Liam has also provided us with much historical data through his regular journals which the Club produced over the years - but Liam was the prime mover. There were many other contributors to the journals also and we will endeavour to sort the data into correct order and present it on the website at some future date.
