Legacy Field - STWFC | Match Summary | 2009/10 Schedule |

 

Columbia, SC – A gauntlet of matches took place at USC's STWFC Rugby Field this weekend, as the USC 'C' side was in action against The Citadel's 'A' side, falling just short at 00-10. The match was followed by a combined USC 'A/B' side striking the iron early against its alumni (the Carolina Olde Boys) and never looking back. This year's COB festivities, a celebration of the club's 42nd birthday, saw an improved Olde Boy turnout from the year before, including many recent graduates. A special thanks also goes out to the many veteran Olde Boys who participated once again, particularly those who traveled in from out of town.

USC's men's matches were followed by the USC women's team taking on their local affiliate Columbia Bombshells, as well as a post-match auctioning of USC's old white jerseys. Next weekend, all three Carolina sides will be traveling to Boone, NC for the 2009 Rucktoberfest Rugby Tournament on the campus of Appalahcian State University. This year's tournament will be played over Sat., October 3rd - Sun., October 4th, and has been expanded to include a full second division (B/C-side) tournament, as well as a high school showcase. USC enters the tournament an early favorite, alongside App. State, Clemson, and clubs from the Mid-Atlantic territorial union.
