The Second Season Begins

Written by Todd DiGuistini | 19 September 2010

Our second year is upon us and the excitement is building for another great year.  The Originals had a tremendous first year with several wins and an even greater amount of laughs.  Our thanks to the teams that hosted us for their hospitality and fair play.

Rugby at the over 38 level is as competitive as First Division, with twice the social atmosphere.  The spirit of the game is truly evident at this level and we encourage players to include their spouses and children.  The following is a great quote for Old Boys Rugby:

“The whole point of rugby is that it is, first and foremost, a state of mind, a spirit."

Jean-Pierre Rives (1952- ), French rugby player.

If you are interested in playing please do not hesitate to contact us, or simply come to practices Thursday nights 6:30pm at Delair Park.

The motto for our team, “There are no winners, just survivors”.

Yours In The Spirit Of The Game,

Todd Di Guistini
