BRAMPTON RUGBY CLUB PREPARES FOR NEW SEASON  18th March 2008

 (From the Brampton Guardian Newspaper)

 

The Brampton Rugby Club, under the leadership of new President Kent Tumber and his enthusiastic Executive Committee, is in the process of planning for another busy season in the Ontario Rugby Union’s powerful and very demanding Marshall Premier Leagues. Once again it is the Club's intention to field three senior men’s teams, a senior women’s team, together with boy’s junior programs at U21, U18, U16 and Mini rugby for boys and girls. There will also be a junior women’s category.

 

Such a program is a huge task for a predominately amateur sport. Once again the demand on the volunteers, administrators and coaches will be enormous and Kent Tumber is busy putting together detailed short and long term plans to ensure that the “Beavers” one of the Province’s oldest rugby clubs, maintains the level of growth that has been required over the last decade, to remain one of Canada’s leading Rugby Clubs.
