The cheques were presented at the club’s barbecue at Coleraine Rugby Club last weekend.

The outstanding amounts of £1,800 to each charity was only achieved through the support the club received both from the members within the club and from visiting friends and other clubs.

“We look forward to this barbecue being an annual fixture in the club’s calendar,” said a club spokesperson.
