The LCRFC footballers made the trip to Strabane to take on Sion Swifts for the first time in 4 seasons on Saturday. A number of absentees forced manager Colly Hartin into a reshuffle of formation and of personnel with Stevie McCluskey debutising in goal and Conor Guy making his debut in midfield. On a soggy […]
Limavady Rugby FC welcomed Belfast side Cumann Spoirt an Phobail to the John Hunter Memorial Grounds in the 1st round of the Irish Junior cup. The visitors deservedly took the lead after 15 minutes when a cross from their right was headed in at the far post. They doubled their lead 10 minutes later when […]
Limavady made the short journey up the Ballyquin Road on Saturday to face Dungiven Celtic Reserves. Both sides came into the game on a high following big opening days wins. LRFC boss Colly Hartin made three changes to the starting XI from the previous week with John Nicholas debutising in goal for the injured Liam […]
The Limavady Rugby Club footballers got off to a perfect start to the new season with a resounding 8-0 victory over Lincoln Courts Reserves. In fact the Roesiders opened the scoring in the 1st minute when some dreadful defending by the away side left Trevor Banks with a tap in to an empty net from […]

The first fifteen minutes were fairly even steven. The deadlock was broken in the sixteenth minute when Limavady scored their first try. The instigator […]
LRFC made the very short trip to Killane Road in the town for the first of two Limavady derbies in the space of two weeks, to face a Roe Valley side, who like the Rugby Club side were having a mixed season. On a difficult pitch for both sides it was a former Rugby Club […]
LRFC hosted Foyle Wanderers on a soggy Autumn afternoon at the John Hunter Memorial Grounds with nothing less than a victory required.

Limavady went into the break with a much deserved 2-0 […]
The club’s footballers made the journey to Strabane to face an Artigarvan side yet to pick up a point this season and were made to rue missed opportunities as they came back down the Derry road empty handed. Artigarvan found themselves 2 down inside 15 minutes with both goals coming from similar circumstances. Corners floated […]
Limavady made the short trip over the Baranailt Road to play Claudy Utd on what was the first wet and miserable day of the season. The poor weather often creates a great environment for football to be played and it was the rugby club men who came home the victors. In a much tighter game […]
Crumlin United Reserves made the trip from Belfast to the John Hunter Memorial Grounds for the 1st round of the Irish Junior Cup, a cup which doesn’t hold great memories for the Rugby Club men.
