Midnight Rugby Tournament

Technically Day one would be done and we'd be moving in to playoffs and finals. Back in '09 the Wandering Hands took the silverware and also created this catchy 'tour' video..

Normally we'd be getting geared up to host what would be the 11th edition of MRT. alas, it won't be happening. But that doesn't mean we can't reminisce about the old days. With this highlights reel:

Unfortunately, it looks like MRT2019 will not be taking place. Procurement of a pitch for the event has hit some major walls and it may well be that MRT2019 was the last outing for the tournament. It lived for 10 years and went out on a high. To all that attended and to all those that helped in the organisation - we thank you. Without you it would not have happened.
Yours in Rugby

Åland Stags Rugby Club are attending the tournament and may well be a few players short for the weekend, so if you feel like helping them out. Feel free to do so.

Unfortunately Warriors Rugby Club Supporters don’t have enough players for a mens team to enter. 😢😢
Which frees up one slot in the men’s group.
