Team, this Saturday we’ll be joined by our friends (and rivals) Columbia Touch Rugby for a friendly match. Let’s put on a show of force and come out with some good numbers this weekend. We’ll start a bit later on Saturday to give the Columbia guys a bit of time to make it down to the Mall (also it will be a little cooler weather).

• Game time: Saturday September 14 @ 10AM (9:30AM warm up/ team organization)
• Place: Same as usual (between Washington Monument and WWII Memorial)
• What to wear: Your blue D.C. Touch Rugby tank top (or blue top if you don’t have one), a second t-shirt/top that is grey (or similar shade) in case we have 2 teams.
• What to bring: Water/gatorade, chairs (if you want to sit between games), sunscreen, your A-game.

Remember this is a social game so all skill levels welcome! See you on the field!

Too thin on numbers, especially given the heat. Hope to see you out on the field again soon!!

We’ve got 8 and a maybe. Preferably we’ll make it to 12 before green lighting the game so comment if you are IN.

Team, a few have expressed interest in heading out tonight for a few lazy drinks. Let’s meet at a central location and see where the night takes us. I propose RFD in Chinatown (on 7th between H & I Street) at 8PM.

We can use this as an opportunity to refuel for a touch game on Monday – Who’s keen? If you are, please respond to this post with a yay or nay and also what time you would prefer:

Option A: 9:30AM (We’ll give everyone an extra 30 mins of sleep ;-))

Option B: 5:00PM

Let us know about Monday and in the meantime, hope to see you tonight

Slightly lean on numbers but I’m assuming there will be a few extras that rock up as usual. See you at 9am tomorrow.

It’s time for Saturday touch numbers. Open to players of all skill levels and ages, just like our newest junior team member that joined for a run last weekend! Let us know if you’re in or out (that is of course if your parents let you use the internet).

See you tomorrow, thanks for replying! We may be down a ball so feel free to bring one just in case.

Team as we stand now, we’re very thin on players for tomorrow. I know a bunch of people just show up but please take 10 seconds to respond with an “in” if you can make it. Otherwise if we don’t see the interest, we won’t call the game.

Who’s in?

We’ll also test interest in setting up a mini tournament with the Columbia Touch team sometime in September (we’ll take a quick poll to see what weekend suits everyone). They’re a pretty strong side so let’s get in some good touch practice this Saturday in preparation!

Temps and weather are looking great too!
