The Lamorinda boys high school rugby team spent their spring break touring Ireland.
The 26 players, three coaches and about 20 parents traveled to Dublin, Cork, Galway and New Ross. Along the way they experienced a sold-out 51,000-person stadium cheer on local Leinster RFC to a victory over Saracens RFC in the quarterfinal European Cup match, toured the Guinness Factory, kissed the Blarney Stone at Castle Blarney, played the traditional Gaelic sports of Hurling and Gaelic Football, viewed the Cliffs Of Moher, and experienced the international rugby experiencing of competing on the field and then sharing a meal together after the match. The tour was championed by Orinda resident Jen Tejada who was born in New Ross, Ireland. Her son Tighe started in the match against New Ross and in a made-for-TV moment scored the first try of the match.
