3rd Annual Rugger Mortis

Old Boys Rugby Tournament

 

Saturday, May 16th! Mark it down before you forget!

​

Slap on the Icy Hot, crank up those hearing aids, and don’t bother with the bifocals. It’s time for old boys rugby again!

​

BYOB (Bring Your Own Bibs) because we’re boiling enough crawdads again to clog every pacemaker in a 10-mile radius. Let’s work up an appetite by aggressively hugging each other until we remember why we only play once a year. Register your team below!

​

Format:

• 15 players a side

• Age brackets: 35–44 and 45+

• Don’t have a team? Don’t worry. We’ll duct-tape you to a side or create a “Mystery Meat XV” team from the leftovers. Contact Us and let us know so we can place you on a side.

• More tournament and match rules at the bottom of this page.

 

And of course…
🍺 FREE beer and crawdads for players after the final whistle. (Yes, the beer is cold. No, it won’t fix your back.)​
