Hi all, we’re good to go for tomorrow for some touch rugby. Same spot, same time. Will be keeping check on the weather in the morning. Right now there is a low chance of rain, but the predictions are all over the place, so we’ll have to revert to the old school method – looking out the window. 

See you out there!

Hi team, give us a yes or a no if you’re in for touch rugby this Saturday at 9am. Weather is supposed to be in the manageable mid 70s. See you out there!

Hey Guys,

We’ve got the minimum for a run tomorrow.  Let’s meet at our usual spot at the mall at 6.  If a few of the “maybe’s” show up, we’ll have really good numbers.  See everyone tomorrow!

PS  I haven’t scouted the Mall on Wednesdays, but presumably it’s not filled with the softball crowd.  Keeping my fingers crossed…

Hey guys,There’s been a lot of talk about meeting up during the week in addition to our Saturday play.  We’ve played on Thursday’s before but it’s proved to be less than ideal given softball’s dominance at the mall, and Thursday happens to be among the more precious drinking days.  Wednesday seems like a nice alternative.

Are you guys down for rugga rugga on hump day?  Let me know.

FYI, yoga classes are a poor excuse for not attending midweek rugby…

PS  Let’s meet at 6pm

We’ve got numbers.  See everyone tomorrow morning at 9am on the mall!

Hey Guys,

Thought I’d send a blast to see if anyone’s interested to play rugby on Saturday.  It’ll be a good opportunity to re-live last week’s glory.  And, it’ll be a good opportunity to even out your tan.  Skins vs. skins!  Let me know if you’re in.

Team, we all did an outstanding job at this past weekend’s touch tournament. Our team A placed an impressive first place in the second division play offs and Team B came in at a close 3rd in the first division, narrowly losing to Columbia by 5-6.

Despite our losses, we all learnt an incredible amount about the game. The quality at which both our teams played was a big improvement over our usual Saturday morning gatherings! It was also a great experience to have met our match against the more pro teams that showed up and hopefully we’re all better players as a result.

Thanks to all of the players and spectators who attended and pushed through an intensely hot and physically demanding day while maintaining consistently high levels of team spirit. A special shout out to Eric for the jerseys, John and Eric for the tents (we wouldn’t have survived long without them!) and to all of our drivers. An extra special thanks to Cliff who not only made us aware of the event, but also cooked up a storm for the entire 100 odd people at the event!!

Finally thanks to Kaitlin for the photos. I’m posting some below, but feel free to download the full set here. Looking forward to seeing you all out there again soon for our usual Saturday morning games!

Hey all,

We’ve got just enough for some practice/play today.  I’ll see everyone at 6!

Just an FYI that there will be no touch this Saturday (June 29) on the mall as the team will be playing in a tournament in Maryland. HOWEVER we are playing tonight (Thursday June 27) at 6PM on the mall at the same spot. Open to anyone who wants to join, not just those playing in the tourney. We’re going to be going over some tricks, tips and strategy that will help us all improve!

Hey guys,

Let’s prep for Saturday’s tournament with practice this Thursday.  We’ll use the time to go over some techniques, and play with our respective teams if most people show up.  Playing with our teams will help us get a feel for how we’ll operate on Saturday. 

Let’s meet at 6 at the same place where we usually play.  We may play a little closer to 17th street because there will be softball players around, but it’s basically the same space. 

Hope to see everyone there!
