Congratulations to The Pitt Rugby Club that won its 4th ARU Championship in 7 years last weekend with a 24-17 win over Slippery Rock University. Pitt became champions by winning the game and scoring a bonus point (4 trys scored) to top WVU by one point in the SLS system.
Back in 1990 I was one of the original re-founding fathers of the club after a 8 year forced hiatus (see the picture below to find out why). It’s great to see the team I helped start come so far. Our inaugural season was pretty ugly, I think only a handful of us had ever played rugby before that season and many of us as ex-football players had a bad habit of blocking for the runner(a penalty in rugby). Now Pitt is a perennial league contender. It’s great to see the boys doing so well. Some day I am going to get in shape and go back in play in the alumni game.
