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?
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.
Hey Guys,
A thousand apologies. That was a real Bush-league stuff there. I blame WordPress for no longer sending me blog updates. Anyhow, we’ve got numbers so let’s meet at 10 AM. See everyone tomorrow!
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…
Who’s in? You know the drill, reply to this post!
Okay, guys.
We’re good to go. Let’s meet at the Saturday field at 6pm. I’ll be there at 5 for those who can make it and want to practice strategy and skills.
Also, whoever has the cones, please bring them if you can. Worst case we’ll use our various bags to mark the field if cones don’t arrive.
See everyone out there!
Hey gang,
We’re low on numbers for today. If you’re interested in playing please respond. We need about 5 more ins. Lets not let a good government shutdown go to waste!
Hey Guys,
Who’s in for rugby tomorrow? Let’s get numbers.
Given the shutdown, I’ll be out a bit earlier, closer to 5:00 or so. I’ll be doing some drills and and discussing strategy so we can improve. Come out then if you’re interested and can make it. Otherwise, same time at 6:00.
(PS, this is all contingent that the Mall grass area is accessible. I’ll post tomorrow if it’s not).
Hey Everyone,
Cliff just posted that the rugby tournament was cancelled because three teams withdrew to play in a national tournament down in Florida. To those who’ve paid me, I’ll return your money the next time I see you–hopefully Wednesday.
I know we were all looking forward to this, but there will be more tourneys in the future to be sure. Plus, this gives us an opportunity to practice more and perfect our play.
I’ll post about Wednesday rugby tomorrow.
We’re on! See you guys out there tomorrow.
