Terenure College and Carlos Spencer have parted company just six months into his first season as head coach, with the club sitting just one point and one place outside the top four playoff positions in the All-Ireland League (AIL) Division 1A. “Although he will no longer be present day-to-day, Carlos remains committed to supporting the players and coaches as they continue their pursuit of league success. “Everyone at Terenure College RFC wishes Carlos every success in his future roles and thanks him sincerely for his dedication and leadership. Unhelpfully, the Terenure clubhouse has been undergoing redevelopment since the summer and is not expected to be reopened until next season. Even so, Terenure’s audacious appointment of Spencer generated headlines and interest far beyond Irish rugby and had shone a spotlight on the AIL.
