🇮🇪 Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being the photographer for the Midland Warriors RFC Black Tie Event — for the second time! 📸🏉✨ ( Midland Warriors RFC )

What a fantastic evening: great atmosphere, plenty of smiles, and a brilliant opportunity to chat with players and guests throughout the night. It’s always special to capture these moments both on and off the rugby field.

Here’s a little glimpse of what you missed in this 3-minute slideshow 🎥
Huge congratulations to everyone involved in organising such a memorable event 👏

Fun fact of the night: a few ladies admitted that walking in high heels was definitely harder than with rugby shoes. 😄👠



🇫🇷 Hier, j’ai eu le plaisir d’être le photographe officiel du Black Tie Event des Midland Warriors RFC — pour la deuxième fois ! 📸🏉✨

Une superbe soirée avec une excellente ambiance, beaucoup de bonne humeur et une belle occasion pour moi d’échanger avec plusieurs joueurs et invités tout au long de la soirée. C’est toujours un vrai plaisir de capturer ces moments en dehors du terrain.

Voici un aperçu de ce que vous avez manqué dans ce slideshow de 3 minutes 🎥
Félicitations à toutes les personnes impliquées dans l’organisation de cet événement réussi 👏

Petit moment amusant de la soirée : certaines dames ont avoué que marcher avec des talons hauts était plus compliqué que marcher avec des chaussures à crampons. 😄👠

🇮🇪 A few 📸 from a brilliant afternoon of rugby in Moate between Midland Warriors RUFC and Gorey Rugby Football Club 🏉

A welcome change with a bit of sunshine 🌞 — though the pitch was still nicely muddy to keep things interesting! 😄 The game was played at a serious pace, with both sides bringing huge energy, strong defence and great determination from start to finish.

It was a tight contest all the way, with Gorey (Co. Wexford) just edging it 16–12 in the end — a real battle right to the final whistle.

Massive credit to both teams for the intensity and defensive effort on display. Plenty of big tackles, hard-earned metres and proper fighting spirit throughout 👏

Congratulations to all the lads for a fantastic game — great rugby to capture on camera! Feel free to tag yourself and your friends, and to follow me on Facebook and Instagram.



🇫🇷 Quelques 📸 d’un superbe après-midi de rugby à Moate entre les Midland Warriors et Gorey Rugby team (Comté de Wexford) 🏉

Un peu de soleil, ça change ! 🌞 Même si le terrain était encore bien boueux pour pimenter le match 😄. La rencontre s’est jouée à un rythme très élevé, avec beaucoup d’intensité, une grosse défense des deux côtés et un engagement total du début à la fin.

Un match très serré, finalement remporté par Gorey sur le score de 16–12 — une vraie bataille jusqu’au coup de sifflet final.

Un immense bravo aux deux équipes pour leur combativité et leur solidité défensive. De beaux plaquages, beaucoup d’efforts et un excellent esprit rugby 👏

Félicitations à tous les joueurs pour ce très beau match — un vrai plaisir à photographier !

🇮🇪 What a fantastic day at the Moate Parade! 🎉

The rain kindly stayed away and the streets were filled with colour, music and community spirit. From the incredible dancers and lively bands to the local rugby, football and Gaelic football clubs, tractors, vintage cars and so much more — it was a brilliant celebration for everyone who took part and came out to watch.

A huge congratulations and sincere thank you to all the organisers and volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the parade happen. Events like this take months of dedication, planning and teamwork, and it truly showed today. Kudos to my improvised models today 📸!

Well done to every participant who helped make it such a memorable day for the community! 👏☘☘☘

🇫🇷 Magnifique journée pour la parade de Moate ! 🎉

La pluie est restée à distance et les rues étaient remplies de couleurs, de musique et d’un formidable esprit communautaire. Des danseurs incroyables aux groupes de musique animés, en passant par les clubs locaux de rugby, de football et de football gaélique, sans oublier les tracteurs et les voitures anciennes — ce fut une superbe journée pour tous les participants et les spectateurs.

Un immense bravo et un grand merci à tous les organisateurs et bénévoles qui ont travaillé en coulisses pour rendre cet événement possible. Des événements comme celui-ci demandent des mois de préparation, de dévouement et de travail d’équipe, et cela s’est vraiment ressenti aujourd’hui. Un grand merci à mes modèles improvisés du jour 📸.

🇮🇪 Today we had a nice turnout on the banks of the Shannon for Athlone River Safety Awareness Day. It was great to see the community come together to learn more about staying safe on and around the water. The day featured water safety demonstrations on the river as well as indoor CPR demonstrations, giving people the chance to learn potentially life-saving skills and see first-hand how emergency responses work.

A huge thank you to the organisations and volunteers who made the day possible:
👏 Athlone Boat Club
👏 Athlone Sub Aqua Club
👏 Lough Ree RNLI
👏

Their dedication, expertise and willingness to share knowledge with the public help make our community safer. Thanks also to everyone who attended and showed interest in learning about river safety and emergency response. 📸 I’ve shared some photos from the event below!



🇫🇷 Aujourd'hui, journée de sensibilisation à la sécurité sur la rivière Shannon à Athlone 🌊

Au programme :
🚤 Démonstrations de sécurité sur l’eau sur la rivière
❤️ Démonstrations de réanimation cardio-pulmonaire (CPR) en intérieur
➡️ Une excellente occasion pour le public d’apprendre des gestes qui peuvent sauver des vies.

Un grand merci aux organisations et bénévoles qui ont participé à cette journée :
👏 Athlone Boat Club
👏 Athlone Sub-Aqua Club
👏 RNLI / Lough Ree RNLI
👏 Athlone Emergency Defibrillator Group (AED)

Grâce à leur engagement et à leur expertise, ils contribuent à rendre notre communauté plus sûre autour de l’eau. Merci également à toutes les personnes venues assister aux démonstrations et s’informer sur la sécurité en rivière.

🇮🇪 A few 📸 from another busy afternoon of rugby in Moate between Midland Warriors RUFC and Roscrea RFC 🏉

Played on a very muddy pitch (the kind where the ball feels like a bar of soap! 😅), the match was fast, physical and full of commitment from the first whistle to the last. Plenty of big tackles, great phases of play and serious determination shown by both sides.

There was even a bit of unexpected entertainment when a black dog ran onto the pitch at one stage… for a moment we wondered if the ball was about to be replaced! 🐕😂

Fair play to Roscrea RFC for a strong performance on the day, and huge credit to the Midland Warriors who kept battling right to the end in tough conditions.

Congratulations to all the lads for the effort, teamwork and rugby spirit on display — great to watch and great to photograph! 👏



🇫🇷 Quelques 📸 d’un après-midi bien chargé de rugby à Moate entre et 🏉

Sur un terrain très boueux — avec un ballon qui devait parfois ressembler à une savonnette 😅 — le match a été rapide, engagé et intense du début à la fin. De beaux plaquages, beaucoup de rythme et un superbe esprit combatif des deux côtés.

Petit moment insolite pendant le match : un chien noir a traversé le terrain, et pendant quelques secondes on s’est demandé si le ballon allait être remplacé ! 🐕😂

Bravo au Roscrea RFC pour leur belle performance du jour, et un grand respect aux Midland Warriors qui se sont battus jusqu’au bout dans des conditions pas faciles.

Félicitations à tous les joueurs pour leur engagement, leur esprit d’équipe et la passion montrée sur le terrain — un vrai plaisir à regarder et à photographier ! 👏

A few 📸 from this afternoon’s Senior Women’s match between Midland Warriors RUFC and Birr Rugby Club 🏉

Played on a very muddy pitch in Moate — proper rugby conditions! 😄 — the game was played at a great pace with plenty of determination and commitment on both sides. Sliding tackles, muddy jerseys and a lot of heart out there today.

Fair play to Birr Rugby Club for a strong performance, and huge credit to the Midland Warriors Women who kept battling and showing great spirit right to the final whistle 💪

Massive congratulations to all the players for the effort, teamwork and passion on display — that’s what rugby is all about! 👏



🇫🇷 Quelques 📸 du match Senior Women de cet après-midi entre deux équipes féminines locales 🏉

Terrain très boueux à Moate — de vraies conditions de rugby ! 😄 Le match s’est joué sur un rythme soutenu avec beaucoup d’engagement et d’énergie des deux côtés. Glissades, maillots pleins de boue et un bel esprit de combat tout au long de la rencontre.

Bravo au Birr Rugby Club pour leur performance sans faute, et un grand coup de chapeau aux Midland Warriors Women qui n’ont rien lâché et se sont battues jusqu’au coup de sifflet final 💪

Félicitations à toutes les joueuses pour leur engagement, leur esprit d’équipe et la passion montrée sur le terrain — c’est ça l’esprit rugby ! 👏
