Assistant Coach Pat Garner will be preseason skills and conditioning starting in the following weeks.  This will be preparation for what we all hope to be a very successful season.  I am hoping to get a late fall friendly match, and hopefully get us into a Rugby jamboree (friendly round robin tournament) in February.  Lets start put in work now so we can hit the ground running when

Disappointing outcome today.  We can learn and build and use this as fire in our bellies for the rest of the season.  Come out and work hard and get ready for the coming weeks. We have a team and it is now time to work.   


Thank you Jonathan Enari for the  3 points

We may have a long time way to go as a team but  none the less,  GREAT Win on against Columbus.  3 tries with  from David Tiwari and 2 conversions with a penalty from Jonathan Enari.  These points coupled with a team wide inspired 2nd half  effort with the tone set by Captain Todd Baer and Big runs from Jefferson Tripple,  and a fantastic 2nd half maul for our final try.


Zionsville will be a tough team who want to try and match up physically so we need to be ready to work and tighten up aspects of our game.
