I will have copies of Tonys map at practice on Friday

This is our last game. Lets all show up and send our seniors off with a win.

Practice change

This Thurs. practice has been cancelled and rescheduled for Friday. Many players are unable to make practice until after exams - per parent request. So to get ready for our LAST game this season, practice will be Fri. 4pm at Juneau. If you are unable to make practice please call. If you are unable to make the Sunday game DEFINATELY call so we know how many players we have. Game time is 1pm in Oak Creek by the high school. Dann will post directions after talking with the other coach.

Also, during open house in the fall several incoming freshman expressed interest in rugby. They have been invited to attend a practice NEXT Monday from 4-5pm. Afterward we will be having a pizza party for one last hurrah to our season. We would really like as many people as possible to come and talk with possible new players. If you know someone who may be interested in rugby in the fall - I don't care where they go as long as they can get to practices and the games - they are also welcome on Monday.

banquet

The rugby banquet and awards night was a lot of fun. The slide shows were great to watch - boy how our little ruggers have grown! While it was fun to see the past year, at the same time it was sad to be saying good-bye to our beloved seniors. Our co-captains (Ellie and Sara K)have worked really hard not only at gaining rugby skills but also in helping to keep our team as a unit.
