WISCONSIN RELIKS

Submitted by Nick Van Der Yacht

Spanning all corners of Wisconsin, we bring together a culmination of numerous Wisconsin towns including Green Bay, Madison, Appleton (Fox Cities), Osh Kosh, Milwaukee, and towns in between to form the new Wisconsin Old Boys Rugby Club, Wisconsin Reliks!  From 20 +/- years when we all furiously competed against each other to now joining forces to bring some Midwest nice and grit to an international rugby festival for the first time as a full team, solidifying our brotherhood and competing at a higher level knowing our bodies just may not handle what we’re asking it to do at the moment.  

But through old man determination and fortification from significant cheese consumption, we will spend every ounce of energy we can muster to bring some competitive play and entertainment to remember for decades to come.  We range from 35 to 65 and willing to accept what the competitive bracket will offer us.  For the minutes we step on the pitch, may it be 2 minutes or 20 minutes, every ounce of testosterone will be left on the field. Many of our clubs that we are combining began their roots in the early 70s and 80s, creating a rich history of Wisconsin Ruggers to cross the border into Canada. The gray hair is an indicator of wisdom and strength from days past that will carry us to victory!
