The CEC girls are hosting a clinic for grade nine girls June 28th from 10am - 3pm. The clinic is for anyone interested in playing rugby at CEC. Contact John MacKenzie @ 897-0852 for more information.

Also June 28th @ 6pm at club house is meeting for anyone interested in playing under 18 girls Club Rugby.

Last season, the men capped a phenomenal season with a successful playoff run, in which exciting victories over Prince Edward Island, Pictou County, and the Saint John Trojans, lead to the eventual championship trophy.

Since that monumental club victory, the Saints have also gone on to claim the championship trophy at the Truro Indoor Sevens rugby tournament, hosted right here in the MacMillan Showcenter. The tournament, which features 76 men's and women's teams from all over Canada, features extremely high level rugby, has not been claimed by the host team in roughly 30 years, making it another remarkable victory for the club over the last year.

Spring has arrived now, and the club is returning to the pitch to prepare their team for the upcoming season's title defense. The club would like it to be known to any and all individuals who are even slightly inclined to try the game to come out. The Truro Rugby Club is an organization who has always tried to encourage any individuals, whether they are at all familiar with the sport, or completely foreign to it as well. The club is aware that rugby in the Western hemisphere is not as mainstream in the media as in the east, and does not expect many players to have much experience, if any at all. The Truro Rugby Club would also like to express how it is a society, and besides playing the actual game, we have a beautiful facility in Bible Hill that club members enjoy, whether it be watching a professional game on television, or sitting on the deck watching as the local high school teams play. So come on out, and give rugby a try! Practices are currently going on at the club's facility in Bible Hill, the Farnham Mill Rugby Park. Directions can found here on the website, in case you're unfamiliar with the area. Practice times are at 6:30pm, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Hope to see you out. Cheers to the Saints!!!
