ALUMNI DAY!

Another incredible day at Hickory as the Downingtown Rugby Club celebrated our history, welcomed back alumni, and reunited teammates, families, and friends. A huge thank you to Liz Mal for refereeing and helping make the day a success.

It was also a privilege to welcome Tom Conley, a member of our original 1996 squad, back to Hickory. Days like these remind us that while the years go by, the bonds built through rugby never fade. Thank you to everyone who came out, shared stories, and celebrated what makes this club so special.

Family on 3!
1…2…3… FAMILY!

STILL #2 in the state… but forever #1 in our hearts.

Our HS Girls left everything on the field Sunday against the top-ranked team in the state in the PA State Championship. Through 70 hard-fought minutes, brutal heat, and pure exhaustion, these girls battled until the very last whistle, with heart, determination and pride.

Huge respect to for an incredible match and congratulations on a well-earned championship.

This team’s not done yet and ready to run it back.
Next up: EGRL Playoffs in NJ in two weeks at the Rugby Showcase East on June 6–7 to close out an unforgettable 15’s season.

thanks to and for capturing photos.
