Nenagh Ormond in dreamland as top flight debut beckons

'Anything that someone does, we do it as the whole squad of 30, 40 lads. There's no-one going off in their cliques' says skipper Kevin O'Faherty

NENAGH Ormond will step into club rugby’s dreamland on Saturday, not wide-eyed but on a mission to stake a firm foothold in the top flight of the Energia All Ireland League.

After back-to-back promotions from AIL Division 2A, the Tipperary club have made it to 1A and have every confidence it will not be a fleeting visit, despite the romance of this distinctly country club mixing it with the big boys from Dublin, Cork and Limerick.
