The record total represents a 23% increase on the amount raised last year and will provide valuable funds for the participating clubs. It brings the total raised since the draw began in 2011 to over €8.5 Million, all of which goes directly to the clubs.
Speaking about the achievement IRFU President Greg Barrett said,
“The result of the Your Club Your Country Draw is fantastic news as we head into Christmas. The huge increase in funds raised shows just how hard our volunteers work and how important our clubs are to their members and community. I want to thank them for their ongoing commitment to the game and for all the hours they dedicate to rugby. I also congratulate all the winners and I thank our sponsors for the wonderful prizes.”
