The Erie County Department of Health has given the green light to moderate and high-risk sports (like rugby) to practice and play. There will be mask, screening and testing requirements that we will need to meet in order to do this safely, but this is GREAT news. The coaches will be participating on a RugbyNY Zoom call this Wednesday to discuss these and other back to play developments both here in WNY and across the state. ... Stay hungry, stay safe, wear a mask. Everyone needs to do their part to make this happen. The full press release can be found at the link below. https://www2.erie.gov/health/index.php

Merry Christmas from Kenmore Rugby! Here's to 2021 bringing better days. Stay safe, stay hungry, because we WILL play again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our great group of seniors, our parents and coaches. While we were not able to show what we were made of on the pitch, we more than made up for it in this season that never was by showing what we are made of off the pitch. Thank you again to Jennifer Sole and Tony Sole for hosting us all last night. It was great to get together one more time this year as a team.... #OneBigMob #OneBigFamily #KenmoreFirst

Something we have been saying for years. Whether rugby is your first sport, or "the other one", if you're not playing, you're selling yourself short.

There's just a handful of squares left on our Super Bowl board. Don't miss out, get yours now! $25 per square, $250 payouts for the first three quarters, $500 payout for final score. Venmo to Kenmore-Rugby

Kenmore Rugby would like to congratulate all of our seniors on the occasion of their graduation. You may not realize it, but we want you all to know that your effort, humor and talent have left the club better than when you all found us and we are the better for having had the opportunity to watch you all play and grow as young men. Whatever awaits each of you, know that you will always have a place as a proud Kenmore Rugby Alumni. ... Cheers gentlemen.

This is GREAT news, and moves us one step closer to being able to play this spring! Continue to do your part to make it happen. Wear you mask, wash your hands, and maintain social distancing. There is a league meeting next week to discuss back to play options, and there's some big news regarding the club coming soon, so stay tuned!

We recognize those moves. Not sure about the gloves however... ;-)

Anyone who will be attending or is considering Clarkson University for college, here is a message from their Club President Thor Sutphen. Some of you may recognize Thor as he has played with several Kenmore ruggers on the RugbyNY Upstate select side. Good Afternoon, My name is Thor Sutphen and I am the president of the Clarkson University Men’s Rugby Club. I’m reaching out regarding recruitment for our team. ... I’m reaching out to see if any players that are going to be seniors were interested in attending Clarkson University, and playing rugby there. Clarkson is an outstanding engineering and business school with a lot of opportunities. If any of your players are interested, please email me at [email protected] and I can introduce myself and possibly set up a tour of the campus and facilities. Please let me know and stay safe! Thanks, Thor Sutphen https://diy.clarkson.edu/unde/the-clarkson-mens-rugby-club/
