KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame will be adding to its ranks this spring.

Paddy Harrington will be going into the Hall in the builders category.

Harrington’s passion for rugby and promoting the game, and for the last 43 years the Kamloops Rugby Club, is unparalleled.

Last May the rugby club celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the club will be going into the Hall with Harrington in the team category.

Paddy Harrington’s four plus decades with the club have included a variety of roles from playing and coaching to administration, and making sure the public is well versed on its success.
