Coach's Summer Report by Justin Evans
Dear Alumni,
Hope this letter finds you all well. Just wanted to mention some of the things the rugby team is working on for the forthcoming season and to remind you of the Students vs. Alumni game on September 6th. The boys have (I hope) been following a pretty tough fitness and conditioning program over the summer. I know quite a few lads have also been playing for local men's teams. In fact I "met" a few on the field at the Acton 10s tournament last month. The team, as usual is making preparations for a big recruitment drive for the beginning of term to bolster the club further and ensure the long term health of the club. Our pre-season will begin on August 25th and the first championship game is on September 13th.
This year we will be playing in the Southern Conference for Division II which will mean a lot less traveling. Most of our opponents are based around Rhode Island so no more trips up to Vermont in the regular season! That said, the group looks to be equally tough with Coastguard, Brown and last year's National Division III winners Bentley bound to provide strong opposition.
Further details of the Alumni game will be sent out shortly. Hope to see some familiar and new faces to give us a stern test.
Best regards,
Justin Evans
