I want to bring to Members' attention the success of two rugby clubs in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, namely Clogher Valley Rugby Football Club and Enniskillen Rugby Football Club, this season. At the weekend, Enniskillen Rugby Football Club's ladies became Women's Junior Cup champions, beating Malone Rugby Football Club by a staggering 27 points to 8 points. It was a great win for that young side. Clogher Valley has also had success this year, with the women's team winning the Ulster league B and the first men's team winning the all-Ireland league 2C and the Bank of Ireland Senior Shield final. All that comes off the back of great youth programmes in both clubs. They bring forward those young players and teach them respect and competitiveness. There is a healthy competitive relationship between Clogher Valley and Enniskillen, which is always good, and both excel themselves when they play each other. Enniskillen firsts just missed out on being champions in their league as well, coming in second place. I wish both clubs well, I wish the youth programmes well and I love to see those youth programmes thriving.
