Touch Rugby at Buchanan High School

We are still running touch rugby at Buchanan High School (see the directions page).  Touch starts at 6:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday nights.  Thursday nights after touch many of the guys are having a pint or two at Groggs (Willow & Nees).  If you can't join us for touch, join us for a pint at Groggs, hope to see you there.

Sevens Tournaments on the Schedule

There are still two more 7s tournaments on the docket.  Tri Tip 7s in San Luis Obispo on September 6, and 7s in the Sand in Newport Beach on September 20. 

Tailgate with the Fresno Rugby Club

We are planning a tailgate for the September 13 game between Fresno State and Wisconsin.  Come out before the game for food, drinks and fun with Mr. USA Today in his natural environment.  Henry will be signing autographs from 11:00 to noon and then he will do what it takes to get back on the cover of a national news publication. 

Details to follow, but mark it on you calendar now!

Our New Home

Thank you to all of the individuals that worked towards securing our new home field. Special thanks goes out to Barry Foley for leading the project. We now have a top level field/complex to call home. Check out the Fresno Regional Sports Complex on Jensen and West. We will be putting up permanent goal posts in the weeks to come. Plans are already in the works to host tournaments in the near future. Great work guys!

Plans for U-19 Team

We have field, we have coaches who are interested, we have at least one team signed up for a home-and-away series in the fall.  We now need PLAYERS. We have had several prospective players from Hanford, Clovis, Sanger, Fresno City and Fresno State joining this summer for touch practice, but we need more. We are looking for contacts for us to speak to local High School and Junior College's to pitch why they should come join the rugby world.   If interested or you have contacts, please email us.   This venture, which holds great promise for the Fresno Metro area, will not be easy any help given will be appreciated.     If anyone is interested in playing for the U-19 team or men's club, or is interested in helping, please email herb.breen@gmail.com or fresnorugby@hotmail.com.
