Hey guys... We are hosting provincials on Friday. We'll be playing Fundy (third time this season). We beat them by 1 the first game and by 2 the second game.

We haven't been to a provincial finals since 2017, so this is a new area for the entire team.

A few great pics from the weekend

RugbyFest ###III was last weekend. Our boys played very well, but fell 13-10 in the semis. We ended up scoring 14 tries while only allowing 2 tries all weekend.

We need to tidy up our rucks, running in channels, and work on taking less penalties.

Our first regular season match is this Monday, the 29th, at 5:30 on Hickman v Hampton.

We have a roster of 41 this year. The biggest roster we've had since we had two teams 18 years ago. Who remembers the Mad Dawgs???
We entered a 7s tourney this weekend at the Field House in Saint John. 1st time for 7s, and the boys had a great time. But, back to 15s soon enough with RugbyFest happening in 2 weeks. If you're around, check out some action.
Game 1 - Friday, April 19 at 4 pm
Game 2 - Saturday, April 20 at 9:15 am
Game 3 - dependent on the outcome of our first two matches

Unfortunately, Portugal won't be happening.

Instead, we'll pivot and plan for NY. That seems like a decent alternate plan.

10/28/2023

We are closer to booking Portugal for April. We are accepted into the tourney and have to make our deposit by mid November. Fingers crossed we get 26 parent permissions by then.

This year's rugby team is looking to tour in April. We tentatively have two different tours that are being lined up.
Option 1:
Portugal Youth Rugby Festival

Option 2:
New York City

The greatest rugby tournament in Europe. Matches against international players, leisure activities, and great entertainment.
