Max Cramer, Mike O’Brian and Fletcher McDonald opened up a 50 -10 half time lead on the team of Eddie Page, Neil Quinlivan, Chris Manale and Paul O’Brian , and cruised to a 90-70 win on Thursday 8/26 with a lethal kicking game and repeated exploitation of 2 v 1 situations.   An 8-0 run of tries was countered with a 25 -0 run after ball contol was reestablished in the touch footie match at the Tiger’s secret practice facility.  Tigers Alumni opened the session devloping skills for kicking under pressure from set pieces.

Anyone, any age not playing (American) football this fall is invited to train with the adults and college age players that have become Tigers Rugby Men’s Club (AKA Tigers Rugby Alumni).

Tigers Alumni (Men’s Side) plays in the fall (another first!) against Eastern Rockies Rugby Football Union teams.  Our Arvada and Broomfield based club ventures into ERRFU with baby (cub) steps, but is growing all the time.   

New and veteran players like Pomona HS graduates Chris Meis (‘84) and Jeff Eberle (‘77),  Max Cramer (from South Africa)  and Paul O’Brian played from behind, through the rain and uphill, only to have 55-50 decision snatched away from them by Matt O’Brian, Chris Manale, Luke Stanley, and Mike O’Brian in overtime under a double rainbow at the first practice on 8/19/2010.  Good omens, great fun.

HS Boys (U-19) start practice in December for Spring 2011 season with Rugby Colorado (formerly Colorado Youth Rugby).

Anyone, any age not playing (American) football this fall is invited to train with the adults and college age players that have become Tigers Rugby Men’s Club (AKA Tigers Rugby Alumni).
