Community & Sponsorship
Involved in communities, committed to playing our part
ESBI Under20 rugby
Our sponsorship
We sponsor the U20 Rugby home international matches at Buccaneers (Dubarry Park) in Athlone.
The games, hosted by Buccaneers RFC, provide top-class sport and are a key indicator of the enhanced state of the code in Ireland and the other countries playing ESB International Under20 rugby.
A good partnership
A key factor in our decision to support Under20 rugby is the all-island footprint of the game.
With the recent arrival of the Single Energy Market in Ireland, we're proud to support a sport that has operated on an all-island basis for a number of years.
Matches in 2009
In 2009 there were two home matches in this series:
- Ireland v France on 6th February
- Ireland v England on 27th February
Ireland was the winner on both occasions.
