[edit] History

[edit] Elite League Seasons

It was in the first season that they won the Elite League winning all of their main eight games along with beating the Carlow Crusaders 24-10 in the Grand Final.

In the 2007 season they became champions again. Out of the ten matches played they won eight and drew only twice, both to the Carlow Crusaders. The first match in June, finished at 22 points each and the in August they drew 0-0. In a repeat to last season, the Grand Final was between the Titans and the Crusaders. The Titans won 38-22 at the Old Crescent R.F.C.

In July 2007 the Sky Sports programme Boots'N'All visited Limerick to record a piece on Rugby League in Ireland. The Titans played a friendly match with their "A" team to allow footage to be recorded.

In November, for the Ireland Wolfhounds important match over Russia, to allow entry into the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, three Titans players: Mike Brodie, Billy Treacy and Kevin O'Riordan, were selected in the team. They eventually won 58-18 and clinched a place in the World Cup. The same players are expected to feature in that tournament alongside Irish Super League Europe players.

The new 2008 season for the Elite League is expected to start late in May.
