So, last weekend the Flames went down to Stanford for the Stanford Invitational. I sadly wasn't able to go but I'm so proud of our team! We tied two games and lost four, but we never lost by more than three tries (translation: touchdowns). That may not sound particularly good but we were playing Division I teams (we're Division II), with coaches, who regularly go to nationals and members of some of the teams are on the US team. We did pretty sweet.
I got the new and improved schedule for this quarter, and it's a busy one! There is something rugby related going on every Saturday from now until mid-March.
The Schedule:
1/23- forwards clinic at Magnuson Park.
1/30- CWU @ WWU
2/6- EWU @ WWU
2/13- Western Oregon U @ WWU
2/20- UW and OSU round robin @ WWU
2/27- (possible) clinic with the Mudhens (Seattle's womens team)
3/6- Seattle U @ SU
3/13- WSU @ WWU
Hopefully:
4/17-18 - Nationals!
That's a lot of rugby! But it will be SO much fun! I'm excited about the forwards clinic on Saturday. 9-12 is working on scrumming and 1-4 is working on line outs. The clinic is open to anyone from high school age to young at heart, men and women. I'm expecting to learn A LOT. It'll be interesting to meet other rugby players from all these other demographics.
