Rugby’s Not On Unless a Few More Confirm!

Hey Guys,

Right now we’ve got potentially 8 people showing up tomorrow.  That’s too few to get a game on.  We need at least two or three more people to confirm that they’re in for tomorrow.  It’s going to be a perfect day, and we’ll finally be back at our field.  Let’s put some numbers out there and get a good run going!

Let’s try a new field. Who’s in for rugby today?

Hey guys,

Thanks for the suggestions regarding new fields.  The one in Arlington and the one on Waterfront seem promising.  Let’s try the one on 25th and N this week though.  It’s nice, relatively convenient, and is connected to a middle school so we should have no trouble with “authorities” booting us off.  If we can’t play there, we’ll shoot for the Waterfront or Arlington on Saturday. 

That said, you all know the drill.  Who’s in for today? 

Field Ideas?

Hey guys,

I’ve done a bit of research for a playing field but nothing seems ideal.  Our best bet I think is a field on 25th and N NW.  There’s a school there (Francis Steven’s) that has public park facilities (a pool, playground, etc.)  There are two relatively sizable fields, one behind the school and the other right next to it.  We might be able to play there, but my concern is there might be flag football players or soccer players occupying the spaces around 6.  I’ve seen them play there before, but at different times.  That said, I still think it’s worth checking out. 

Does anyone else have any ideas on where we might be able to play?  I’m open to suggestions. 

Saturday’s a hot one. Who’s in for touch?

Hey Guys,

Who’s in for touch on Saturday?  The Indian Summer continues with temperatures approaching 90 degrees.  Let’s get out and play before the sun scorches.  Start time will be 9 AM.   

Also, let’s maintain some continuity with the lessons we learned on Wednesday.  Drive the ball up the middle.  Swing it wide after a few phases.  Keep that defensive line straight! 

Perfect those tactics and we’ll be well on our way to winning the 2014 Hong Kong International Touch Rugby Tournament trophy.  I swear…
