A successful weekend for Kaiserslautern Rugby as the men's team defeated RC Mainz 19 to 9 in a very passionate match of rugby.

The beautiful weather only made the local rivalry match more enjoyable as both teams played very well. Kaiserslautern prevailed in the end, with Setu Tupuimatagi, Robert Pennington and Corrado Vono each scoring a try apiece and Geri Funk converting two of the tries. RC Mainz was denied scoring any tries by a tireless Kaiserslautern defense and great try saving tackles by Robert Pennington, Dylan Montieth and JR Faave.

Our thoughts and prayers go to the brave scrumhalf from RC Mainz, Leonard Groh who suffered a serious injury and had to be taken to the hospital before the match could be played out. We wish you a safe and speedy recovery!

Thanks to all of our fans who made it out for the match, special thanks to Eleanor Grady for the photos!

Join us next week for our last match of the regular season against Eintracht Frankfurt! More details to follow soon!

Last Saturday, March 11 Kaiserslautern Rugby played their first match of the Spring 2017/17 season against RG Heidelberg II.

Despite the best efforts of the team, we lost the match to RGH, 34 to 10. Despite the hard loss, our players had a lot of fun, everyone got to get on the field and we learned a lot about what we need to work on. Thanks to RGH for a tough, physical match as well a fun social allowing us to watch more rugby together!

Everyone played very well, individual effort was enormous, there's too many people to name but the two to stand out the most are our Back of the Match, Dylan Montieth, who scored both of our tries and our Forward of the Match, Matt Clear, who was a monster on the pitch and played his last match with Kaiserslautern.

Thanks to the fans and the Kaiserslautern Ladies Rugby Team who traveled to Heidelberg to support us!

Next match is away, against SC Frankfurt 1880 II on Saturday, March 18. Hope to see you there!

EDIT: Date of next match changed to Saturday, March 18.
