Here is Ursinus Men’s Rugby at the last tournament of Spring 2024. Man of the Match for Ursinus was the rumbling Big Man, Corey Redington. See pic below. We said farewell and thanks to our seniors Ian Utz, Ben Douglas, and co-captain Kieran Macdonaugh, pictured below. All three have been tremendous leaders, each in their own way. It was a fun sevens season, each player improved a ton. Already looking forward to 15s in the Fall.

We are excited to announce our schedule for the Spring 7’s season! We hope you see you out there and have your continued support. 🐻♨️🏉

Fun day yesterday at the Phoenixville White Horse Touch Rugby tournament. Two of the teams who participated, Ursinus College and Blackthorn Barbarians, mean a lot to me so it was a banner day.

Happy Birthday Alvaro de Fene.

A big Happy Birthday to my mentor and friend.
