Thank you for supporting monmouth day

May 232012
 

The Monmouth Rugby Club would like to thank everyone who came out this past Saturday to celebrate another great year in our 39 year history. A little over three hundred people came out to enjoy the rugby matches and back to the club for our annual celebration.

The newly formed Monmouth Maulers started the day against neighboring rival, Christian Brothers Academy. The Monmouth U-19 program just finished their first season in the New Jersey SBRO by making the D2 playoffs, eventually losing to the eventual champion, Princeton AC. On Saturday, the Maulers fell to CBA by a score of 29-20, though showing vast improvement sinve their last meeting at Neptune, Meet Rugby.

The Monmouth Women payed the perremially ranked Village Lions, and with strong support from the many years of players, dominated the rugby match from start to finish.

The Mean Machine played their annual match against the D3 mens squad from Suffolk, defeating them in a hotly contested match, 27 to 24.

Monmouth Men took on long time rivals from Union RFC, in a barn burner which even saw referee Scott Reilly unable to finish. The final score ended up closer than many would have wanted, but the Men did prevail by a 55 to 50 count.

Back on to the Rover we went, and celebrated in typical Monmouth Rugby fashion with over 200 guests joining us for hours of fun and music. We saw the induction of the two newest members of the Monmouth Rugby Hall of Fame. Chris Kaldrovics gave the induction speech for the youngest member of the hall, Kevin Walsh. Paule Barford introduced Scott Constantine and managed to keep the mike for less than ten minutes. Not that the mike was plugged in anyway.

Once again, thanks to everyone who came out and supported the club, not only Saturday, but throughout the spring and fall rugby seasons as well. Monmouth Day 2013 will be the same time, Saturday before Memorial Day, and will look to be an epic 40th birthday party.

Men fall to Potomac

May 032012
 

The men’s team’s season ended this past Saturday, falling to the Potomac Athletic Club in the National Round of 32. PAC Rugby is ranked #6 nationally and has perennially contended on the national rugby playoffs.
Our Monmouth boys held a lead late in the game, but the PAC forwards held enough girth to touch down twice in the last fifteen minutes to come out with a 31 to 25 victory. Though PAC held possession for over 60 minutes of match time, Monmouth felt a win was very close right up to the last whistle.
Potomac plays Mystic River this upcoming weekend, after Mystic barely edged out a win over Schuylkill River, 28 to 25. Monmouth wishes both teams the best of luck.
Monmouth looks to take on South Jersey at Thompson Park. Details to follow.

Match against Old Blue called because of snow

Oct 312011
 

The battle for the Division 1 crown will need to wait. Just ten minutes into Saturday’s match against Old Blue at Randall’s Island, the ref called the game because of an unexpected snowfall.  Nearly three inches of snow had settled on the turf field, and the game was deemed unplayable. Most other matches in the division followed suit, whether before or after.

Monmouth has offered to host a makeup game versus Old Blue on the 12th of November, but nothing has been set or scheduled. Details will follow.

The women lost to the Portland women’s rugby team on Saturday afternoon. Portland went on to win Sunday and will represent the NRU in the national playoffs next Spring. Congrats to the women on a great season and thanks to Brett Colhoun for stepping in to coach and instruct.
