This Saturday James Leary will win his 100th All Ireland League cap for Bangor at tight head prop. James has only missed 1 AIL game since Bangor have returned to senior rugby. What a fantastic achievement. Well done James!

Congrats to Phil Whyte and his wife Carley on the birth of Jessica . The best thing to come from 2020 by a long way . Known for his delicate touch and tenderness Phil looks a natural already
It is with deep sadness that we were informed of the passing of Joe Upritchard, former player, Captain, Chairman, Honorary Life Member, and Trustee of Bangor Rugby Football and Cricket Club, on 6th December 2023 at the age of 97.
Very proud of the boys and the coaching team for all their efforts this season . To lose last play in the 7th minute of injury time is gutting but we will bottle this feeling and go again .
@skerriesrugby
have been wonderful hosts amd we wish them well

βWE HAVE HAD TO CLOSE β
Due to your overwhelming generosity we have unfortunately had to close Upritchard Park for further Ukraine donations. We canβt thank you enough for all of the donations we had. What a difference it will all make!
Thrilling game that could have went either way but Bangor are the winners of the U18s Ulster Carpets Bowl with a 29-20 final score!
Great day, great match, great win! π΅ππ‘
Well done to
