Given the cold weather I’m going to take a punt and suggest we play at 1pm, when it is warmest. Should be 50F by then. Any takers?

See you out there @ 10am tomorrow!

BTW, I have a flat ball. If you have a ball and/or a pump, pls bring it along. In fact, pls reply to this post to indicate if you will bring either along tomorrow.

Cheers!

Any more people keen to play tomorrow? C’mon, don’t be afraid of commitment….

I neglected to say in the previous post that te game will be @10AM, as usual.

… Santa gave you some kick-ass weather to come get your touch rugby on! Yup, its gonna be a scorcher at 62F. Gadzukes, you might even need your sunscreen.

I realize some of you may be heading home over the holiday season… But there will be touch for the few, the proud, the hardiest of souls willing to stand up to the slow tide of history and shout “NO, I WILL PLAY TOUCH RUGBY THIS SATURDAY!”

Those who are in are urged to reply to this post by saying “PAIN IS TEMPORARY. GLORY IS FOREVER.”

FedEx Field speculated as a potential venue for NZ vs USA rugby match next year…

Some people already know about this, but thought I’d post the specifics:

How: Touch tournament will follow FIT rules. Each team will supply a Captain. 6 on the field at a time. Roster size is 12. Exceptions can be made. Looking to advertise and market the sport in the area. Pool play for introduction and seeding and then single elimination tournament. 4 match minimum. 10 minute halves, 2 min half time. 2 fields running at once. Each team will supply a ref when not playing. So bring your whistles.

Didn’t get the numbers and I imagine the pitch will be a mess after all this rain. Seems everyone is out of town!
