JEAN Rawlings goes to every Drybrook home game but hardly ever watches the rugby.
Jean's match day job is to prepare the post-match meals for players and officials, something she has done since 1968.
In her 43-years in the kitchens it's estimated she has prepared more than 100,000 meals for hungry rugby players.
The club has now recognised her dedication and service by granting her life membership.
Club chairman Paul Mason said: "Jean's part of a small team but no one has been there longer than her. We opened the clubhouse in 1967 and Jean started the following year.
"It's something you take for granted but putting on meals after matches is something of an unwritten law in rugby. Some clubs really go to town and give out menus.
"Jean and her team might get to watch 10 minutes of a match but mostly they are in the kitchen from 2pm-6pm. While we're in the bar, they are washing up."
Paul says that over the years the meals have generally got bigger and better.
"Years ago it was stew or sausage, beans and chips. Nowadays, the players definitely have more discerning palates and want things like spaghetti bolognese and curries.
"It's a lot of people to feed every week, including quite a few supporters."
