Speaking about the relaunch of the Summer Camps, Ray McCabe, Summer Camps Manager said: “We are thrilled to be bringing the Bank of Ireland Leinster Rugby Summer Camps to our clubs again. The last few months have been hugely challenging for everyone and there has been a lot of uncertainty but it was important that we took the time to map out exactly what our camp offering would look like and what we could offer in a safe environment.”
