St Columba's Hall, or the Tinny Shed as it is locally known is the social home of Douglas Rugby Club whose playing grounds in Moneygourney has another cache GC5191V. The cache is outside club grounds
Munster RugbyRugby has been played in the village of Douglas, on the south side of Cork City for over 100 years. The earliest evidence the club has, is a photograph of a Douglas rugby team playing in 1903, drawn mainly from the workforce of the thriving local woollen mills. This is reflected in the club crest of a ram and local landmark, the Douglas Fingerpost. Douglas Rugby Football Club as we know it today was founded in 1979 by the late Joe O' Reilly, a Douglas man with a keen interest in sport and Séamus Corkery, who had played with Cork Constitution. Séamus is an uncle of former Irish International flanker David Corkery, who played his first adult rugby match with Douglas RFC. In the late seventies and early eighties the club played their games at St Mary's School, Rochestown before moving to Scart, Douglas. Over fifteen years ago the club moved to their present grounds at Moneygourney, which boasts two pitches, a meeting room, changing rooms, an indoor gym, referee and medical rooms and kitchen facilities. Douglas has a long association with St Columba's Hall, known far and wide as the Tinny Shed. Located in the heart of Douglas village, the hall caters for away teams after home matches as well as many of the club's numerous social events.
