The Iowa Trip...

Thanks to all the parents for driving and coordinating and getting us all there and back again!

The Club had a very successful trip to Iowa this past weekend. We were able to play a lot of rugby and gain some valuable experience. Our final record was 2-1. We posted a 50-0 win over Edina; 10-0 win over the Orono Nightmares and a 0-5 loss against Hopkins. In all three matches, we had the pleasure of playing against quality opponents from all over the Midwest in some very physical and demanding match-ups.

In addition, our players did some fantastic extra-duty assignments filling out Omaha, Hopkins, the Kansas City Dragons and forming part of a motley side to do our part to make sure there was rugby for everyone! I am very proud of our efforts on behalf of these other teams both in the quality of our players' performances on the field and their sportsmanship in lending a hand to these other clubs.

It was a great weekend!
