Toledo Celtics Rugby Club As a 501(c)(3) Organization our mission is to give back to the community through our love for Rugby. Johns, and Whitmer. Recent tours to the Cayman Islands, Ft.

From engaging with our youth to rallying behind a great cause we want to make Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan a better place to grow and learn. The Toledo Celtics RFC was founded in 1974 originally as a collegiate men’s club at the University of Toledo. After aging out of the college eligibility, Mike Fosnaugh, Bill Bingle and a select group of ruffians transitioned the club to a men’s team, competing in the Midwest Rugby Union. Known for their blue-collared physicality, the club competed throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s with many victories and success. The Celtics entered the new century with the same game plan and some newer faces to carry on the traditions of the founders. The Celtics currently compete in the Midwest Union’s Division 3 Eastern Conference and have many recent successes, including a Midwest Championship and National semifinal appearance in 2006 as well as playoff appearances in every subsequent year to 2011. The club now claims participants from northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan and has local affiliations with sponsored high school clubs at Anthony Wayne( boys and girls), Perrysburg, St. The Celtics strive to promote our players’ talent with successes at every level including Rich Schurfeld to the US National Team, and Demecus Beach and Lance Cavanaugh full rugby scholarships to Davenport University (winners of two collegiate national titles). The club currently is comprised of the Div 3 “A”side and a competitive “B” side for less experienced players. We also have a social “ole boys” side for players over 35 that participates in competition against other local ole boys squads as well as going on tours. Lauderdale, Savannah GA, have served to round out the camaraderie and competitive nature of the club. The Celtics are comprised of men from every walk of life, including college students, businessmen, teachers, clergy, doctors, military vets, factory workers, steel men, firefighters, and local miscreants with great variations in age, experience and athletic ability. We are always looking for new players and welcome new participants year round. Whether you’re a grizzled, battle scarred veteran or a newcomer that has never played a minute, the Celtics welcome you to come to practice, get a solid workout and enjoy the greatest team sport on the planet.
