Carlow Crusaders
The Carlow Crusaders were a rugby league team based in Carlow, Ireland. They played in the Irish Elite League. They played home games at Oak Park, Carlow. The Crusaders were forced to play most of their games in Cill Dara RFC, Kildare as Oak Park is owned & used by Carlow RFC.[citation needed]
The Carlow Crusaders were embroiled in controversy when they opted to pull out of the 2011 All Ireland Final against the Treaty City Titans.[citation needed] They have yet to explain publicly their reasons for the action but has since been found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by an independent panel.[needs update] This decision has left many wondering if Carlow will take part in any further rugby league competitions.[original research?] They are currently in the process of appealing the charge.[needs update]
