** Rugby Hero Sean O'Brien Inspires Mullingar U16 Boys**

Mullingar Rugby Club’s Under-16 boys had an unforgettable experience during their recent fundraising event, as they were joined by local on rugby legend Sean O'Brien. The event, which aimed to raise funds for the team’s upcoming tour, took an exciting turn when O'Brien made a surprise visit.

Sean O'Brien, known for his outstanding career with Leinster, Ireland, and the British & Irish Lions, spent time with the young players, offering them advice and encouragement. His visit left a lasting impression on the boys, boosting their spirits as they prepare for their upcoming matches and tour.

“It’s not every day you get to meet someone like Sean O'Brien,” said one of the U16 boys. “We’re all really inspired by his visit, and it’s something we’ll remember as we continue our season.”

The event was a success, with strong support from the community. The funds raised will help cover the costs of the team’s tour, an important opportunity for the boys to develop their skills.

Head coach Dec Murphy shared his thoughts on the day, saying, “Having Sean O'Brien visit was a huge boost for the lads. His encouragement has really inspired them, and we’re all incredibly grateful for his support.”

The club expressed their thanks to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser. Sean O'Brien’s visit was the highlight of the day, and it has given the boys extra motivation as they prepare for their tour. The Mullingar U16 boys are now more determined than ever to make their club and town proud.
