Rugby’s on for Saturday at 9:00! A New Season, New Start Time

Hey Folks,

Summer officially begins tomorrow and in keeping with tradition we’ll be playing at 9:00am on Saturdays for the next few months.  I know some of you might be thinking that this is absolutely ludicrous.  My response is the same as my old rugby coach’s:  “Stop whining…”  

Should be good conditions tomorrow, but bring an umbrella just in case.

I’ll see everyone at the normal Saturday pitch (17th and Constitution) at 9:00.

Who’s Keen to Play Tomorrow?

Hey Guys,

With the tournament on, I think a few people may not be around for our typical Saturday game so I wanted to send out a survey to see if we have numbers.

If you’re interesting in playing tomorrow at 9:30, let me know.  Weather looks to be nice, though the ground may be a bit soggy if it rains today. 

Rugby’s on. Enough to play, but it may rain. 15th and Constitution

Hi Guys,

There seems to be good interest to play today so rugby is on.  The hourly forecast looks like the rain should hold off until about 8:00PM so you guys should be good to go.  Still, there’s a decent chance it’ll rain so be mindful of that.  If you guys change your minds as the day progresses, respond to this post.  For now, we’re on.

I think you guys should meet at the 15th and Constitution spot, not the usual 17th and Constitution field where we ordinarily play on Saturdays.  Softball is really ramping up so it’s probably worth it to secure a definite spot than to try to compete with them (though, given the chance for rain it may be less populated tonight–something to consider when you guys head out).  I’m out for today, but hopefully I’ll be able to make Saturday. 

Wednesday Rugby, and Saturday’s Tournament

Hey Guys,

Let me know if you’re in for rugby tomorrow.

Also, I’ve polled many of you and it seems tournament interest is pretty low.  We don’t have enough to field our own squad.  However, if you were keen on playing, the tournament organizers would still love to have you come out.  They’ll assign you to a team when you arrive.  And don’t worry, you’ll definitely play a lot. It’s a pretty long day of rugby so each team could use as many bodies as they can get.  Here are the tournament details again below for those who are interested:

We’re on for tomrrow at 9:30!

Hey Guys,

Last week was an outright success despite the lack of a survey.  We’re doing it again for this week and forward for the rest of the Summer (and probably Fall too!).

I’ll see everyone tomorrow at the field (17th and Constitution for you newbies) at 9:30.  I’ve got some cones, so I’ll bring those.  Someone else, be sure to bring a ball.   

We should be done about 90 minutes before Wences’ BBQ.  If you plan on coming but haven’t alerted Wences or Ryan yet, let me know by responding to this post and I’ll transmit the message back.  Should be fun!

No Rugby Today

Hey Everyone,

Too few numbers for rugby today.  If you still want to get out there, I believe the Scandals are playing at Garrison Elementary School on 11th and S NW from 7-8:30.  They’ll welcome you to play, no doubt. 

Looking out at the weekend, I’m pretty sure we’ll be on for Saturday.  Wences is also hosting a rugby bbq (which I’m 100% attending) so be sure to let him know you’re coming if you can.  I’ll send reminders about playing, the bbq, and the tournament on Friday.
