Rugby legend Brent Pope was in Dundalk today to promote his new shirt collection.
The RTÉ pundit called into Tony McDonnell Menswear in Earl Street where he posed for a picture with Jim McDonnell and Darren Guest.
You can expect to see Pope’s collection on shelves in Tony McDonnell’s in the weeks ahead.
The store is popular with rugby stars, with Rob and Dave Kearney regular customers along with their Leinster and Irish team-mate Fergus McFadden.
Dundalk Rugby Club will face a trip to Kildare to face Athy in the first round of the Provincial Towns’ Cup.
The draw for the competition, which the Mill Road outfit have won 10 times, was made at the weekend by Leinster players Sean O’Brien and Fergus McFadden.
Dundalk will be strong favourites to advance to the next round based on the fact that they play a number of tiers above Athy, who are in Division 2B of the Leinster League.
In contrast, Ene Fa’atau’s side are second in Division 1A at present and the only realistic challengers to pacesetters Wanderers.
The game will be played on the weekend of January 25th 2014.
