So, this fall season, the Banshees are playing as Morrigans. That's right, we still bleed Banshee Purple, but... we'll be jerseying up in Orange and Green.

We are grateful to the Morrigans for giving us a place to complete. On Tuesdays we'll be practicing at our home pitch with our coach, Banshee teammates, and equipment. We are not abandoning the hard work our Club has invested. The Banshees are BUILDING and this is a part of keeping our senior players competitive while we rebuild a foundation we can truly grow on. On Thursdays we'll be carpooling out to Lemont IL to combine in practice with the Morrigans and build a unified, competitive D2 team.

If you're a new recruit or have been thinking about joining, YOU STILL HAVE A NORTHWEST INDIANA RUGBY HOME.
If you don't want to travel and Cipp with another team, feel free to continue practicing on Tuesdays with us either while you learn the game or to simply stay connected.

Here's our schedule.
