Jacksonville now officially has an “old boys” club for those senior members still wishing to strap on the boots and have a run around the paddock one more time!
Old Boys are targeted for any player over the age of 35, and in relatively good standing health, who desires to play rugby. Games are set up with liberal substitution rules, meaning you can substitute in and out as much as you like, and most tournament games are shorter than the 40 minute halves. There are efforts underway to develop a touring schedule for select Old Boy tournaments and there is even rumor of attending a tournament in the Caribbean sometime in early 2009! If anyone is interested in playing Old Boys rugby in Jacksonville, you are encouraged to contact Tom Brumfield at tabfield@yahoo.com. He has a roster sheet and has taken on the roll of building the Old Boys squad. “ Remember That The older I get...the better I was!”
