Rubby was always a working class game in Limerick — One of the first men to pioneer the game in Ireland was of landed stock tho and from Limerick - One of the Barrington family whose estate was what’s now Glenstal… the gentry had initial influence on bringing the game to Limerick

Soocer was associated with the garrison originally — Rubby was never a garrison game.
