Parkmore RFC
Parkmore RFC is an Irish rugby team based in Terenure, Dublin. They play in the Leinster Metro League.
The club colours are sky blue and white hoops.
The club was founded in the 1907–08 season as the Carlisle club, based near Parkmore drive in Dublin 6W. A hundred years on, the club had its name changed and they moved to Terenure RFC grounds.
At the moment they have two teams, a first XV and an occasional second team for friendlies.
Carlisle RFC can trace its history back to the 1907–1908 season. At that time a team drawn from Dublin's Jewish Community, captained by I. Wigoder played a number of games under the name Carlisle RFC. It was so called because similar to the Cricket Club, a number of the founding members lived in Carlisle Street.
During 1908 to 1910 Bethel Solomons was capped ten times at Senior International Level for Ireland. The First World War disrupted the club's activities and it re-appears in 1926, sometimes referred to as the "Dublin Jewish Rugby XV". However, in 1927 the club was formally re-established and affiliated to the IRFU as Carlisle RFC. The man behind this development was Maurice Stein, who was elected captain. Most of the team had never played Rugby before, but they did bring considerable boxing experience with them. Games were played at Parkmore Drive on most Sundays. By 1939 two teams were fielded. It was recalled that Maurice Stein and brother Stanley would bring to every game at least six sets of spare togs so that any team defections could be filled from unsuspecting spectators.
Leslie Silverstone who joined in 1938 was still playing for Carlisle 26 years later – a unique record.
The club continued in full swing during 1940/41, but playing strength was significantly reduced by emigration and, of course, the outbreak of World War II.
