SMRC Ends Spring Season with 4 Wins!
June 1, 2010 - St. Louis, Mo
The Sunday Morning Rugby Club ended the 2010 Spring season on a high note. After a match held at Principia College on a beautiful sunny day the team extended its winning streak to four in a row. The season started out playing some of the toughest teams in the league in cup matches that were played well but the team still needed experience, fine tuning, and conditioning as it seemed to run out of steam in the late second halfs of matches. Starting last season with many rookies playing experience was a key goal to improving this season. As the season wore on the team began to gain that much needed experience and a commitment by the players to work on conditioning began to pay off the second half of the season. SMRC started showing its growth and winning matches. The Coaches hope to carry this experience and commitment to conditioning into the Fall Season. We are always looking for new players! We enjoy introducing new players the sport of Rugby so no experience is needed. If you are interested in our team please contact us for more information. smrc@sundaymorningrugby.com Spring 2010 Match Reports. Photo: SMRC vs Peoria Spring 2010
