Week 2 – Away – Ormstown
Week 2 features the Montreal Wanderers traveling to Ormstown to take on the Saracens.
We will be meeting at 9:00am at Momesso’s Restaurant, located on Upper Lachine in NDG. Click here for the location.
We will be traveling by car, so if you have a car available, please bring it to Momesso’s. If we have too many cars, there is plenty of parking at Momesso’s, so we’ll just leave the extra ones there for the day. Here are the directions to the field… please note that the default Google Map directions end in the middle of the highway, so I modified the above link to reflect the correct end point.
Rosters were sent by Adam Sommer, via email, around lunchtime on Friday. If you are not on the list (accidents happen), show up to Momesso’s anyway and we’ll make room for you.
Nothing feels better than a double-win… lets come back home will all 10 points on offer, then visit the Orchard to celebrate!
Training now at The Douglas
Following a strong opening weekend, Tuesday and Thursday training sessions have moved to our permanent training location – The Douglas Hospital grounds in Verdun. Click here for directions, and please note that we train at the location designated “R2″ on the map, at the west end of the Douglas grounds.
Training times are unchanged – 6:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Arrive early and be ready to go right at 6:30.
We’ve got 4 training sessions before we face the Ormstown Saracens. The Firsts need to focus on maintaining their sharp edge following their 69-0 victory, and the Seconds need to knock the rust off so that they can translate 70% ball possession into something better than a 7-5 loss. Practice makes everyone better, and we expect to see you all out.
2012 Season Kicks Off
Tomorrow (Saturday, May 12th), the 2012 FRQ rugby season kicks off. Get a good night’s sleep and lay off the booze, because we need all our faculties for game day.
At tomorrows games, we will be taking a moment of silence to honor the memory of Monica Taillefer, the daughter of a Wanderer Old Boy, who unfortunately passed away this past week. We are asking all players to bring and wear a pink piece of gear to the game as a tribute. Anything from an arm band, a sock, pink tape, or a pink shirt under your jersey to show your support to Simon and his family. Read more…

Pre-Season Schedule Change!
Greetings fellow Wanderers!
There have been a couple of changes to the pre-season schedule. We have decided against attending the Ormstown tournament, and will instead be having a friendly against the Montreal Exiles. Further we have secured a second pre-season game against cross-town rivals St. Anne’s… making that weekend the only time we’ll face them this season.
Details will be given out at training this week, and it goes without saying that you’ll need to attended in order to get on the pitch. Our climb back to super-league starts today, so lets use these two exhibition games to knock the rust off before we give RCM a rude wake-up call Week 1.
