GUINNESS AT THE MADEJSKI

After a very busy weekend of sport at the Madejski Stadium last weekend, the volume of sales through the catering outlets considerably outstripped expectations. Unfortunately, as a result, the stadium ran out of Guinness in some of the bars.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused.

We would like to thank the loyal London Irish Supporters for their continued custom and are therefore going to run a special Guinness Promotion for the next home game against Saracens on 8th May.

In the North Stand Concourse between 12.30 and kick off you will be able to Buy 2 pints of Guinness and get one pint Free.

We trust you will enjoy the Craic!

PLAYERS' AWARDS DINNER

With the menu specially created for us by celebrity chef Brian Turner CBE, who will also join us for dinner and a great evening of entertainment planned you won't want to miss it. 

We are now also pleased to confirm that Dave Finnegan's 'Commitments' will be providing the music!

LONDON IRISH COACHING WEEK

There are still places available on the London Irish Coaching Week, to be held during the Easter Break from 13th to 16th April, with many local clubs block-booking members of an age group squad. This approach has many benefits to the club and players, including the opportunity to receive quality training together, and a 10% discount. Should a club book a group of players, the training program for the week can be tailored to include sessions that are requested by the age group coach. Of course, bookings from individuals are more than welcome.

There are still places available on the Easter Coaching Week, which will feature a visit from London Irish. During this visit, gifts and tickets to a London Irish game at the Madejski Stadium will be distributed to the participants. Each day will include six hours coaching, comprising a mixture of skills sessions, video sessions and games, which are designed to improve rugby skills in an enjoyable way.
