A New Beginning

Posted on by

Tuesday the 25th October marks a new beginning in Flamingo Rugby history. On this day we began training on our new fields at Timnath under the new club name of Northen Colorado Rugby. In the up coming weeks we will errect posts, obtain new jerseys in new colours and play our 1st home match on the 5th of September against the Denver Harliquins. This is an exciting time for the club and we are excited about this oppertunity that has been given to us and we will take it by both hands and move forward both on and off the field.

We as a club would like to thank all those involved (especially Danny from WildWing Development) in helping us with the new fields and allowing us to grow as a club. This great new partnership will continue to develop both our facilities and our club over the next five years into the envy of all clubs in the Easter Rockies Rugby Football Union. We look forward to seeing all our friends and fans at our 1st home game on Saturday the 5th September and every home game after.

There are a lot of reasons why us as men and women play the game of rugby, some of us have that aggression streak, for some it’s to stay or get back in shape, for a lot of us it’s the passion of combat and the art of going to war on the pitch…but for all of us it’s the camaraderie of knowing that each and every player on or off the pitch will someway help me as a rugby player. We all have a family of thousands that we can count on in a time of need whether it’s just a beer or a place to stay while out of town and on tour.

This is a call out to all those that have accepted your fellow ruggers as family. This last month two of your fellow rugby players have taken a huge loss to the elements of Mother Nature. Last month a tornado tore through the small town of Windsor, CO. and in its path it caused a lot of destruction to two rugby players’ houses. To show support for these two players and their families Fort Collins Rugby has designed a shirt that reflects the passion for the sport of rugby as well as showing the friendship that we carry as rugby players. We are selling these shirts for $20 and encourage all rugby players to get involved to show support for your fellow athletes. These are players that you might meet across the pitch or share a beer with while singing the songs that we all love. All the shirt sales will go back to these players and their families.

Our goal is to sell 500 shirts. While insurance is going to help, it will not take care of all the losses that the families have lost especially the property that has personal and sentimental value. Though money won’t bring back those losses it will give the families a chance to take a breath and to relax a little. Ruggers this is a chance for us to show our support and love for not only the best game in the world but the greatest friends we all could ask for.

Thanks for all your help and support. For large orders order please contact Terje and he will make sure to send out all the shirts to you and your team. (There is no shipping charge)

Fort Collins Picks up a New Sponsor

Posted on by

As we kick off the 2009 Spring Season we open with taking second place at the Valentine’s Massacre.  Even before starting the full spring season, Fort Collins Rugby was lucky enough to pick up a new sponsor that has a lot of presence within the Fort Collins community.  All the players would like to welcome and thank New Belgium for offering to sponsor and help our rugby team with all of our goals and accomplishments.

This new year boasts a lot of new challenges and goals for the team and we look forward to taking all of them on.  New Belgium has stepped up to help Fort Collins Rugby gain more exposure within our local community.  They would like to see the team do better and understand that what it will take is more athletes on the pitch.  

One of our goals as a team is to grow in numbers and with New Belgium sponsoring us we will be able to move forward in accomplishing these goals.

Cheers to New Belgium.
