OLD BOYS RUGBY: An Entertaining Game as part of Fall series  21st Oct0ber 2009

If you add up the number of all the Rugby teams based in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, you can come up with around 17. This impressive number is counted to include the High School (4), Mac, McGill, JAC (2), SABRFC senior ( 4 ), junior ( 2 ) and mini Rugby teams  (3). Well we should be adding one more to that total, or or maybe even two more, as the Old Boys took the field against Macdonald College last Saturday. The occasion was the Mac College homecoming.

 

 

         

 

At least 30 old boys showed up, plus a few more who played for Mac. It was a great 
day with lots of really hard Rugby and more importantly, some really good looking girls. 

 

          

There was much talk about getting the Old Boys Rugby squad out on a more regular 
basis, but certainly it would be wonderful to see more of them at Club games and at the banquet. This is unlikely though, because as good Rugby players as they are, the old boys seem to have an allergy to spending money. It was difficult to get 20 dollars from them to buy a Rugby sweater.

 

 

Still this miserliness did not attract from the great day and the  terrific after-game beer -up and food at Cunningham's Pub. Tom Ladd  entertained all of us with a few songs and we hope he will return to  Montreal to lead the club in a much needed choir practice.
