The Brisbane Irish Rugby Football Club is an Australian rugby union club, based in Brisbane, Queensland. The club currently competes in the Queensland Suburban competition in the Barber, Pegg and Scotney Cups. Brisbane Irish won a prominent trade mark dispute with multi national company McDonalds over the use of the sponsorship logo "McBrat" in 2005.〔〔 The club was established in 1996 and is now one of the largest suburban rugby clubs in Brisbane. ==History== Brisbane Irish Rugby Football Club originated as the Terrace Old Boys formed in 1994 until in 1996 when a meeting of players at Dooley's Irish Pub gave birth to the Brisbane Irish Rugby Football Club. The club operated out of Gregory Terrace`s Tennyson playing fields until 1999 when the club moved for one season to Kenmore. In 2000 the Brisbane Irish did not compete and regrouped and in 2001 thanks largely to Paul Quaglia, Tom Nicol and Brendan Yantsch, the club reformed and operated out of Purtell Park at Bardon in partnership with the West (Brisbane) Junior Rugby League Club. In 2007 the Brisbane Irish relocated to their current home ground Memorial Park, Enoggera in partnership with the Everton Park Rugby Union Sporting Association. In 2003 the Irish expanded the club with 1st and 2nd Grade teams competing in the Queensland Suburban division II competition. In 2005 the Irish 1st Grade team qualified for the club's first ever Grand Final and were runners up. In 2006 the club qualified both 1st and 2nd grade teams in the finals with the 2nds playing in the Grand Final and were also runners up. In 2007 the club expanded again and fielded three senior teams in the first division Barber and Pegg Caps as well as the Scotney Cup, which it won in 2008. The Irish then went through a period of consolidation but produced a strong season in 2013, despite some key injuries, to reach the semi-final stage of the Barber Cup.〔〔 The club competed in both the Barber and Pegg Cups in 2014.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brisbane Irish Rugby Football Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
