Next week we will commence voting for the mens and ladies players of the year so keep your eyes peeled and make your vote count!
For now, please save the date as we look to end the season on a high.
Volunteers
As we enter the business end of the season, we are blessed in Three Rock to be the major host of finals in Leinster. This is a great source of advertisement for all our sponsors including Tilman Brewin Dolphin and Sherry Fitzgerald, and also allows us to endure our facilities are maximised effectively. Some of the key dates coming up in the next few weeks are the Leinster finals on St.Patricks Day, the Leinster Cup Finals on the 8th and 9th of April, and Irish events on the weekend of the 22nd of April and the 29th of April. Please keep these dates in mind and let us know at club.manager@threerockrovershc.com if you are available to help in any way. These events only run smoothly with the continued and valued support of volunteers. We will be looking for help with carparking, bar duty and taking gate income.
Scoreboard
Some may have already been blinded and dazzled by the lights of our brand spanking new scoreboard! For those that have not seen it though, be sure to take a peek on Saturday as we show off our new asset! Sponsored by Sherry Fitzgerald the board is the latest asset we have been lucky enough to upgrade in the last year. Many thanks to everyone who helped get it across the line, specifically Andrew Walker, Derek Squire and Bernie Keogh

Members should be advised that the club has applied for capital funding to help us replace the back pitch which is in urgent need of an upgrade. The grant application was submitted this week and news is expected by August or September of this year
