In return for the continued support from the local community  week in week Connacht Rugby are having a pre match Open Day in aid of the Meningitis Trust on Saturday August 21st from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, prior to the Connacht and Saracens match.

Connacht Rugby are helping The Meningitis Trust with their main goal of reaching every household in Ireland with a meningitis signs and symptoms card. All donations on the day will go to The Meningitis Trust which supports people who has been touched by meningitis and the Trust’s services and support are a lifeline to help them rebuild their lives. It also raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and associated septicemia.

There will be lots of entertainment including bouncing castles, face painting, obstacle courses for children as well as an opportunity to meet Connacht’s three Irish internationals: captain John Muldoon, Gavin Duffy and Sean Cronin. Parents will also be given an opportunity to join in on the fun participating in games and kicking competitions for both mums and dads. There will also be plenty of refreshments provided and prizes.
