The founding member was Michael McNeil. Players were primarily drawn from among the business community in the town. This is evidenced by the number of members who worked in one of the banks in the town. Many were also Presidents of the Past Pupils Union of St. Flannan's College. At the beginning of World War II the club temporarily disbanded and did not reform until 1952. The GAA ban on their members playing any 'garrison games' discouraged people playing rugby if they also played hurling or gaelic football. This affected the player base available to the club. An underage section was formed in 1973. In 1979 the club finally built a clubhouse after purchasing land from the Showgrounds. The clubhouse is still in place today, having had a gym added recently. First President: Dr. J.B. McClancy First Vice President: Ned Butler First Club Secretary: Frank Cassidy Other founding members: Martin Culligan, Vincent Honan, Serry Honan, Luke Moroney, Anthony Moroney, Owen Linnane, Des Maurer, Bernie Maurer, Eddie Monahan, Victor Monahan, Gerry McMahon, Peter Cosgrove, Jack Carroll, John Coleman, Frank Dowling, Jack Considine and Paddy Kelly. 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「Ennis RFC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
