Rockford Ravens Rugby Football Club
Rockford, Illinois, USA Est. 1976
The Old Kishwaukeeans with a little help from the Gray Lions swept the Cherry Pit Tournament in Traverse City, Michigan on 8/19. They beat host Traverse City 25-0, Battle Creek 40-0, and Detroit 10-0. No kicking in old boys games, amen.
The locker room got a nice cleaning up in the fall. Sean Fahey scored a whirlpool, new lights were installed with help from Joe "Death" Stark and Curt White, and the lockers from one room were joined up with the lockers in the main room. Joe even hooked up power to the shower fan.
On the social side..... John O'Connor set up his annual winter ski trip to Tyrol Basin on 2/25 with bus leaving from Tom's Tap mid afternoon. The Ross' Ski Trip continued for the umpteenth year to the U.P (est. 1979?). Steve Bunk had a summer picnic at his place. The Raven Open was chaired by Mark Hale and held at Victorian Village on 8/12. The St. Patricks Day Parade & Party continued with the Ravens providing security for beer.
The banquet was held 1/21 at the Riverboat.
