William and Russell have been given a rare opportunity to travel to Ireland with NCYRU for an invitation-only rugby experience. This is a major milestone for both of them—William has dedicated four years to playing rugby, while Russell has not only completed the referee course but also coaches the UNCW Women’s Rugby team. Their commitment to the sport and their teams has been unwavering, and now they have the chance to represent their community on an international stage.

This trip, scheduled for November 21-30, 2025, will be the first time either William or Russell has traveled internationally. They are both eager to play and coach rugby in Ireland, learning from new experiences and bringing those lessons back to their teams at home. The journey is also a special opportunity for them to strengthen their bond as brothers, sharing in the excitement and challenges of international competition together.

Funds raised will go directly toward covering the costs of their trip, including travel, lodging, and participation fees. Your support will help make this dream a reality for William and Russell, allowing them to grow as athletes, coaches, and brothers while representing their rugby community abroad.
