Saracens Day, July 21st

Looks to be a full day for the Saracens and the alumni.

Here are the game times/locations and comments supplied by Shannon.

Women vs. Scottish (Saracens Pitch)

2nds @ 12:00

1sts @ 1:30

Men vs. Aurora (Stadium Pitch)

3rds @ 12:00

2nds @ 1:30

1sts @ 3:00

After the games we'll all be heading up to the club house for a potluck lunch in the back room. Current players will be bringing the grub, alumni get to eat it! We'll also be having some raffles and I believe Mr. James A.Trainor will be auctioning off some Rugby Canada memorabilia in order to support some of our juniors who have been selected to provincial teams. Shannon S.

Hopefully the club will introduce these selected players so that we can have an opportunity to congratulate them on this honour and for representing the Saracens.

Also, by special request, the chug-a-lug Saracens Keg will be making its comeback… Some of the alumni from the June 7th day were mentioning they'd like to challenge some of the current players to a match… could be fun!

I do believe that it was Mel James who was up for the chug-a-lug and please if any of you do this remember to remove your teeth first. It's always messy looking for them later.

Also Shannon wants to let the alumni in on something she is proud of – Fletcher's is holding a beer drinking competition over the summer. The team that purchases the most pitchers (wearing a team shirt) will receive a free keg party at the end of the year. She is pleased to report that she and the Saracens currently hold first place. At the end of the first weekend the Saracens stood at 29 pitchers. 2nd place had 12… a good start!

Way to go Shannon. Now if any of you old guys have a shirt that fits lets help her out on the 21st.
