Founded in 1881, Bective Rangers FC is one of the oldest senior rugby clubs in Ireland.
The Club’s senior team currently plays in Division 2C of the Ulster Bank League. In addition there are four adult junior teams, two youths’ teams and a thriving minis section from under six right-up to under twelves. Our club house is located at the “city” end of the rugby ground in Donnybrook where we have two pitches and a further two pitches and club house on the Glenamuck Road in Carrickmines. Back in Donnybrook, the club house contains a bar, hall, full catering facilities as well as a weights room and changing facilities. The bar, hall and two smaller function rooms are available for hire and if you are interested in doing so please email [email protected]
New members are always welcome and even if you do not play and you can still join as a Pavilion Member. Pavilion membership is a great way of making new friends and you will be made feel at home. Pavilion members are full members of the club and have access to all of the club’s facilities, gym and may apply for International match tickets. Please contact the Honorary Secretary David Liddy at [email protected] for further information.
