New Team Jerseys!

November, 2009 New Team Jerseys have arrived.

The Sunday Morning Rugby Team is sporting new rugby uniforms. With the help of our sponsors Schlafly Beer, Mogul Realty, Guardian Insurance Group, Panache Plus and a few team fund raisers worked by team players and club members, we were able to purchase a new set of rugby jerseys. We also expanded the uniform to include rugby shorts with our logo imbroidered on them, warmup t-shirt, and socks. Starting this year with the payment of team dues each player will receive rugby shorts with logo, warmup t-shirt, and socks. Matching Coaching jerseys with reverse colors were also purchased for match days so the coaching staff will be easily recognizable. A big thank you to our Sponsors and all those who participated to make this purchase possible. More photos found here...   PHOTO: New Official SMRC jerseys and match day uniforms.

 

 

Good Turn Out for Old Boys Match

Sunday - October 18, 2009 Old Boys Match - SMRC Old Boys vs Macoupin County Rugby Club Mercenaries (Retired)

The Old Boys of Black and Grey (Macoupin County Mercenaries Rugby Football Club) turned out a respectable side with a little help from a few Rowdies Old Boys to take on the SMRC Old Boys. An old style rugby match was played with hard hitting, hard running, and a little bit of smack talk thrown in just for fun. Macoupin played their hard tackling style we all remembered while Sunday Morning gave as good as they got as the match was toe to toe for the first half. Both sides played a hard fought match with Sunday Morning ending up on top to win the match with a broken play try scored towards the end of the second half. Player's ages ranged from 35 to 60 years old and a safe match was played with no injuries. Congratulations to Doug G. who celebrated is 25 consecutive year of playing rugby, having played 10 years with Macoupin Mercenaries and for the last 15 years playing for Sunday Morning Rugby Club. The afternoon was ended with everyone returning back to the Sunday Morning Rugby Clubhouse for food, refreshments, and stories of "what great rugby players we all use to be". Thank you to all the fans who came to cheer on the Old Boys match (we had a great crowd) and to everyone who participated and help organize this event and helped make it a success. Special thank you to Macoupin County Rugby Football Club and Rowdies Rugby Club for their participation. Photos from the day found here.   PHOTO: Players who participated in the Old Boys Match.
