Fall Season Old Boys Match - Old Boys Win!
St Louis, Mo. - November 19, 2011 - Marquette Park
OLD BOYS WIN MATCH! That's right the Old Boys won the scrimmage match against the New Boys. So you missed out on all the fun this year! Though the turnout was a little low this year since the match was held during hunting season all those who attended had a great time. The Old Boys jumped on top early in the match and made several scores the first half catching the young guns off guard. But the fitness of the old timers did not hold up in the second half as they were challenged on all fronts by the New Boys who came back and scored several tries. 20 - 22 was the final. An Old Boys committee is being formed to better plan future events. If you are interested in participating on this committee please contact Doug G. All SMRC old boys, retired players and friends of SMRC are more than welcome to participate with the Old Boy Planning Committee. Photo: SMRC Old Boys November 19, 2011. More Photos from match here...
