We are delighted to introduce our club President for season 2024/5, Finbarr O’Brien.

Finbarr first got involved with the club after being invited to join the management committee as Treasurer. His time in the role spanned the economic crash which was a particularly challenging period for the club but one which was nevertheless successfully navigated.

Fin has coached mini-youth teams for the past 15 years and is very proud to have been the head coach for the 2007 boys' group who are now entering under 18.5 rugby and their final year as youths in the club. He looks forward to watching these young men join the adult teams over the coming years. Many of Fin's family have been involved with the club: his uncle, brothers, cousins, children, nieces and nephews all having played for Salmo.

As club President, Fin will encourage a culture of volunteering, community, inclusiveness, diversity and sportsmanship. He looks forward to seeing the club continue to grow and to provide a safe and friendly environment for our members whilst continuing to be the best social and sporting club in our local community.

Everyone at the club wishes Finbarr all the best for his Presidency.
