Week 2 – Ottawa Irish

After a forced rest over Victoria Day, the Wanderers are back at it against the Ottawa Irish. This was supposed to be our home opener, but weather conditions have conspired to keep us from the Douglas. We are playing on the turf field at Concordia – Come on out and cheer!

Thursday training back at Oxford

As Thursday is a pre-game practice and we require a full field, we will be going back to Oxford Park for what will hopefully be our last session before the Douglas becomes available. Arrive early to ensure we get the field. Visit the training section for directions to the field.

This week’s training moved

Training has moved from Oxford Park to a park in Montreal West for this week only, due to field availability. Oxford is booked and the Douglas isn’t ready yet, so we’re moving for our pre-Irish prep. Visit the training section for directions to the field.

2011 Season Opens This Saturday

Opening games this weekend have been delayed 30 minutes – Reserves kick off at 2:00pm followed by the Prems at 3:30pm It’s been a long, cold winter.

Old boys rock the Douglas once again

The sounds of laboured breath and the smell of bitterness, permeated the Douglas rugby grounds recently as old boys from all generations strapped on their boots for a chance to relive past glories against current Wanderers rugby talent. A good time was had by all old boys, and we hope that the young ones aren’t too upset […]

Opening the Season with a Bang

But really by Mr. Adrian Thorogood. It is the 2010 Wanderer’s home opener against Sherbrooke. Social networking guru and winger Matthew Barazin gives the pre-game speech: “Let’s show these farmers how men with Twitter play rugby!” Perhaps finding Matt’s incoherent clichés hard to digest, second row Adam Barrette slinks off to one side of the […]
