You couldn’t ask for worse weather conditions as the young boys turned out in the driving rain to face a mixture of 10 Old Boys and some mercenaries on the pitch. Despite the handling conditions, both sides managed a try and after a period of perpetual knock ons, the referee Jerry Shafir, ordered all to the Tennis Center for his chili and crackers. Gene Skowronski managed to keep from torching the Center as he was able to back his van up to the porch and create his magic brats and chicken delights for the hungry crowd. Thanks to Harpoon for the UFO and IPA refreshments and the crowd agreed that, despite the rain, rugby lived on in the hearts of its alumni. With a rousing celebration of Norm Bartczak’s birthday, without a Stolat in Polish, the crowd moved on into the snow falling on cedars and the Dartmouth/Harvard football game.

The final sing along at Tommy Doyle’s saw a few Old Boys show off their diving form to the floor after some courageous Bum Titty…set your sights on October 6, 2012 to indulge your senses!
