Banquet Update

After talking with some players it looks like Wed. evening is the best for the banquet. I will be booking the room by easter - looking at midish May. If you have a date that is really not good let me know. Please talk to players that are not playing this semester or have other sports: Addy, Kelly, Essa etc. The banquet is for anyone who played this school year and their parents (or guest etc as long as they pay I don't care how many you invite!)

rugby banquet

We would like to have a small rugby banquet in mid-late May. Please bring your calendar of dates that don't work due to other games, grad parties etc. It will be on a Mon-Thur evening (so I don't have to pay $125 for the room). As it stands right now I am thinking of Stonefire pizza. They have a nice back room with the ability to hook up a laptop for pictures. Afterward you can "go play" while the adults talk. Got a better idea throw up for consideration.

Pius vs Brookfield

Hell of a job ladies! Despite the 22 degree weather with gusting winds, the inability to feel your hands (or any part of your body), our lack of subs and numerous asthma attacks the team showed that winning isn't everything, its the persistance and heart of a team that makes real ruggers. Congrats to Ellie Lynch for making a try and the conversion kick and a "maybe next time" to Abby who scored a try that didn't count due to a whistled foul just as she scored. We may not have won but you looked awesome in your new jerseys. A sad good-bye to Sarah Heppe who leaves us for the rest of the spring season for softball. And a welcome to our rookies who all got a 'taste' of the pitch - we told you after you've been tackled once the game gets better. As always the other team was impressed with your gusto and the hard hits you made. We would also like to send a thank you to the Brookfield team for supplying us with great subs due to a few injuries and breathing issues.

princess of the week

Ally wins her first crowning as she dethrones Abby as our newest princess! Along with her crown and 'bling' she won a stackable candy santa - yeah that's right I said santa - we are on a tight budget!

NEW DIRECTIONS

Hwy Y is closed in Waukesha. You can use the detour route off of the exit before - Hwy O and follow detour signs. But the easiest way is to take 94 W and exit at Barker Rd. Go west until South 164 and turn left. Stay on that road until you get to Sunset Rd (Superamerica is on your left). Turn left. Park is short ways down the road. You could also turn off of S 164 at Y and then turn right on Sunset with the park directly in front of you.

Don't forget to bring desserts!
