"We're With You"

Fall 2010 Schedule is posted - see details

Great stuff last night.  I had a blast, and even though the score was not what we were hoping for we were all part of a pretty cool thing.  I will spare everyone the historical significance (if you are looking for the whole background just buy Pat Mason a few beers and he will be more than happy to detail the last 35 years of rugby in Bucks County), but trust me when I tell you that last night was great for our club, and for our sport.  Couple housekeeping items:
  1. PAY YOUR DUES!!!  We need to register guys with USA Rugby, pay for field supplies, after parties, supplies, etc ...
  2. Impromptu Baby Shower for Skinny Pat next Thursday night after practice at Pasquale's.  Yes, I said baby shower.  We will be leaning on Tattoo Todd for some details as to what we can buy for him.  We need to make sure we welcome new 'members' of the club right from the beginning.  Details to follow.
  3. Training - The season 'officially' starts now, so get to training and start thinking about what aspects of your game you want to work on.
  4. Congrats to our men of the match and the 'Goose of the Week'.  That shirt fit Vinny like a glove ... I'm sure it's not the only time he will be wearing it.  (full match report to follow)

**********************************

The much anticipated Fall season gets underway tomorrow night at Falls Township field at 7PM sharp.  Make some phone calls and make sure everyone knows that we are getting underway.  We will be training every Tuesday & Thursday night throughout the Fall.  Some items to consider:

  • always have your mouthpiece
  • bring sneakers and spikes to every training session
  • wear appropriate rugby shorts/jerseys
  • try to bring one dark/one lighter colored jersey if possible
  • wear your best smile at all times

Hot fun in the Summertime

Several Hibos young and old flocked to the summer Mecca for rugby The Can-Am Lake Saranac Tournament.

Dues/Registration

Make sure we have your accurate contact details so we can get you registered with USA rugby.  If you have not paid dues please contact me so we can work something out to ensure you get registered properly.  You can pay dues online @ http://www.hiborugby.com

The Hibernians have a very competitive schedule; there are many tough matches but plenty of opportunity to go far into the EPRU playoffs. Because we are now playing a league schedule, every weekend is important in accumulating points that will affect our playoff seeding.   Below are some points of which you should be aware:

  • I have attached a 4-week preseason workout for your use.  This workout is a derivative of one of the US National Team programs.  It’s likely that this will be a drastic change in training technique for most of us; you’ll note the premium placed on explosive, high-intensity / short-duration activity.  This produces much more applicable results then mindless gym sessions or jogging around your neighborhood.  Many of the days require both an AM and a PM session; try to keep them separate if you are able.  Not everyone will have access to all equipment mentioned, so substitute and adapt as best you can.

Goals

To field a hard working rugby teams that promote sportsmanship and basic moral values.  Our intentions will be to win our Conference Championship and advance further into the national tournaments using our hard work ethic and determination.

Mission Statement

The object of the CLUB is to play and promote the Sport of Rugby Union in Lower Bucks County, PA and to further the growth of the sport in the region, working within the framework of USA Rugby, as dictated by the International Rugby Board
