West Shore Boys Compete National Championship Tournament

Congratulations to the West Shore United Boys Team and Coaches!

Coach Sean Robinson sums it up: “The West Shore United Boys Rugby Club traveled to Charlotte, NC this weekend to compete in the High School Boys Rugby National Championship Tournament. Twenty four of the best teams in the Nation received invitations to the tournament to compete in three divisions. West Shore United competed in the Tier 1 Club Division. In our first match we played the #9 team in the country, the 15-3 Missouri State Champion, Kansas City Jr. Blues. We defeated them 32-21 to advance to the semi-finals to face the defending National Champions, The Royal Irish of Indianapolis. The boys played their hearts out, but fell 30-12. The Royal Irish went on to win the National Championship by defeating Granite Bay of Northern California in the finals. West Shore United finished in 4th place to equal our best finish ever at Nationals.

I want to thank all of you that helped to make the trip possible with your generous donations. We couldn’t have done it without your support. Thank you so much!”

Harrisburg Senators Fundraiser Ticket Sales

It’s baseball season!!!!!!

We will be having our Senators fundraiser again this year. How does this work? We will be selling vouchers which are good for any Senators home game. You can get these through Mel for $11 or Reapsome will have them at 7s practice. When you want to attend a Senators game, you take the voucher to the box office and exchange it for a ticket. There are designated sections the vouchers are good for but you can always upgrade to a different section if you desire. There are plenty of home games this summer and it a fun, cheap event to attend.

*** If you would like to purchase 10 vouchers at one time (you don’t have to use them all at the same game) we are running a deal that you get the 10th one for free, so for $99 you can have tickets to 10 Senators home games.

Also, tentatively on July 11th there is a rugby night at the Senators games. Some local teams will be showcasing rugby for the community. We are gathering more information regarding the event but it would be great if we can get a large group to go in Harrisburg gear to promote Harrisburg Rugby. Keep your eyes open for future emails regarding this night.

You can find the schedule for the Harrisburg Senators here: http://www.milb.com/schedule/index.jsp?sid=t547

Tell your friends, co-workers, and families. This fundraiser is open to anyone.

Please let Mel know if you have any questions. If you would like vouchers you can call or email Mel. She lives in Camp Hill so you can set up a time and place to meet to get your vouchers or come to 7s practice and they will be there as well!
