Warwick RUFC situated in country St East Queensland, Australia is looking for rugby players who wish to gain experience playing in a strong competition.
This message is being sent to anyone who may be interested in helping establish the "Etobicoke Rugby Football Club" in 2010. Please forward it to any others who you think could be interested.
Our goal is to establish a strong community based club for the development, promotion and playing of Rugby Football in the former City of Etobicoke, by male and female participants of all ages and competitive or recreational interests.
The Etobicoke RFC will strive to provide a quality rugby experience for all participants by developing a program consistent with the Rugby Ontario "Seal of Approval" criteria.
The establishment of a strong local rugby club in Etobicoke is necessary to support the growth and development of the programs that have started up in recent years at several area high schools - Martingrove, Lakeshore, Bishop Allen, Etobicoke, Weston, Michael Power - and to encourage others to join in.
Our plan for 2010 would be to field teams in the TRU / ORU junior leagues at U16 and U18, and possibly organize several exhibition fixtures for a senior team. The proposed name for our teams is the "Ospreys" ( after the Welsh Magners League team.)
Anyone interested in participating in this rugby club as a player, coach, or supporter is encouraged to contact us or come to an organizational meeting planned for:
Wednesday January 27, 2010 - 7:00PM
Location: Etobicoke Olympium, 590 Rathburn Road Committee Room B (Upstairs)
Please check our website at: etobicokerugby.net for future updates.

Playing university rugby at York
Written by Jose Duarte

Attention Female
High School Rugby
Players and Coaches!
This message is
for those of you who are keen to play university level rugby after graduating
from high school. York University
is actively trying to improve its program through the recruitment of talented
high school and club rugby players. The York team is young and improving and there will be
legitimate opportunity to make the weekly starting 22 selections in your first
year at York
and help share in the success of the program going forward.
We currently
have players from the Saracens, Yoemen, Barbs, Nomads, Beavers, and Balmy Beach
in the York
program. With the incredible depth of
talent in the GTA for women’s rugby I feel that York should be showing better in the OUA
standings. I invite the grade 12
graduates of Toronto area high schools to come to York and show the rest of the
OUA that the best female rugby players in the province play in Toronto.
If you are
interested in playing university rugby at York
please feel free to contact either Joe Costello (

This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
) for more details or
visit http://www.sport.yorku.ca/interuniversity_sport/teams/rugby_w/index.asp
and take a look.
There is also an
opportunity for incoming students to obtain a financial athletic award which will last your 4 years of
university, subject to maintaining a quality academic result.
So if playing
university rugby interests you and playing on a university team where you have
a good chance of getting playing time from year one – I encourage you to choose
York as one of your post secondary choices and keep us in mind.
Any coaches that
feel they currently have OUA caliber rugby players on their teams or are
interested – I would be happy to hear from you to organize either a meeting or
possibly running a practice session with your squad.
