St. Louis Hornets Rugby Club

The Hornets look to honor the generations that came before us with our Old Boy weekend along with our first home match of the fall season against the Royal Ramblers. Kick off at 1p with a social to follow at Humphrey’s. Come out to celebrate the past and watch the future!

While Saturday was a huge team effort with multiple members putting in huge shifts, the Man of the Match Justin Alberti put on a proper display. From hitting far above his weight to slotting kicks no matter where the tee was placed, he was everywhere. Three cheers brother, you deserve it!

The Hornets traveled north a bit light and after a sluggish start the boys came together to put the gas pedal down. It was a grueling, hard fought 80 minutes for both sides. Cheers to the Celts for coming out hot and playing hard until last whistle.

The Hornets look to kickoff our fall season with a trip up Springfield to take on the Celts. Forecast is looking ideal and the lads are ready.

Go time.

This weekend the Hornets begin the quest to defend our divisional championship. With some new faces and some grizzled vets, we stay on brand.

While this weekend didn’t give us the result we were looking for, we couldn’t be more proud of what we achieved this season. We set our minds to being the best we could be and we left it all on the pitch to the last whistle. Huge shoutout to our old boys for their support both on and off the field, the actives will never be able to explain how much this meant to us. Congrats to the Tradesmen on a great run and good luck in Nationals. Onto 7’s season and defending our Bourbon 10’s title.

The Hornets are heading to Super Regionals this Saturday, looking to secure our spot in the Elite 8. We have worked unbelievably hard since last fall to achieve this and be given the opportunity to represent our club, our city and the Mid-America Rugby Football Union on the national stage. The boys are primed and this week can’t go by fast enough.

The Hornets have secured their spot in Super Regionals with a dominant performance this weekend versus Springfield. From the start we came out firing and trying our best to stick to our game plan. Cohesive work by every member on the pitch was the name of the game against a big side. The celebration that night might still be felt by a few lads today.

Unfortunately, due to powers beyond our control, we have had to move today’s match to a different pitch. The only thing that’s changing is location, not intensity.
