As some of you know, I played Rugby for quite a while. Part of my career was with good old George Washington. It's time for the annual Alumni match - aka watching 30 somethings attempting to relive past glories...
What: The GWRFC Alumni Match. Old Boys vs. Under Grads
When: Sat, April 25, kickoff is slated for 2pm
Where: The tidal basin rugby field.
Situated between 15th, Independence and Maine ave NW

Other info:
Beer: Beer and Rugby go together like... well Beer and Rugby - But if you want to bring adult bevs, do so with discretion. I don't know of anyone who's had any trouble, but it is a public field so some camouflage is a good idea.
Parking: There is a lot off Independence, right on the tidal basin but it's not a big lot - so car pooling or metro are good plans. The Smithsonian stop is 2 blocks away.
- Last time I played, we kicked the crap out of them (72-5). So come watch a hopeful repeat. [thumbsup]
Shameless self promotion - supposed to be really nice outside on sat.. so if you're not riding ;D
TTT!
How'd it go?
The heat wave was rough on the old boys... We lost, not horribly, but still lost. Started off with and early score an held a lead for a lot of the game - but it came apart at the end.
But the youngins still haven't caught up in the point total to the 72-5 beating the old boys laid out a couple years back.
