Club Coach / Team Captain &  of the Junior 1 team for the 2020/2021 season

Club and J1 Captain 2020/2021:  Jack O'Driscoll

Taking over from Kevin Coombes as Club Captain for the coming season is long serving Scrum-half Jack O'Driscoll and we wish him every success in his captaincy. Jack has vast experience as No9 , having come through the College structure where he made the No.9 shirt his own, and he has consistently held that critical position in his adult playing career for many years,  and has given sterling performances to the Club at J1 level in League and Cup outings.

Like Brendan O'Donovan before him - a long time occupant of the No8 jersey -  Jack has always had  an eye for opportunities and a fast turn-of-pace, qualities that has allowed him  to slip through many opposition defences and register his quota of tries.

Admired and respected by his team-mates Jack posesses all the qualities that will stand to him in his  term of captaincy.

Club Coach:  Denis McCarthy

Denis has spent his life with Skibbereen RFC and brings a wealth of talent and experience to his Coaching  role.  Denis progressed through the underage  Club structure to the J1 team and consistently held his position as a running back for his entire career - even today he is happy to make himself available to a team if the situation presents. Perhaps his favourite position was at outhalf where he had full command over the game and  from where he directed his troops to the best possible attacking positions. His knowledge of the game ensures he is well capable of the decision making required from the sideline. We wish him well in his management role for the season
