Fifty-four children and their parents/minders enjoyed a wonderful day out watching Leinster play against Edinburgh recently…

The day was made even more special when Leinster player, Stan Wright, met up with the group to sign autographs and take some photos and the children were very excited to meet a Leinster hero.

The group travelled to the RDS recently as guests of Leinster Rugby and Fingal County Council and they received Leinster scarves and other memorabilia of the day.

A very special bond has now been established between Leinster Rugby, Fingal County Council and the Remember Us Initiative.

Nora from Remember Us commented; “The day was a first for the majority of children and their parents, a special thank you to Christian Stemmet, Leinster Rugby and Fingal County Council for making it possible and so enjoyable”.
