All Black Spencer brings fresh impetus to Terenure's redemption road

With a headline-grabbing new head coach and a burning desire to return the Energia AIL men’s title to Lakelands, Terenure can be expected to be front and centre of the push for play-off positions in Division 1A this season.

Last season’s failure to secure a top-four finish stung the 2023 champions after four successive years of AIL knockout rugby, but the arrival of former All Blacks playmaker Carlos Spencer on a three-year contract as successor to title-winning head coach Sean Skehan has brought some fresh impetus.
