SALT Rugby

Thanks to Chase Harris, Jason Little and Jeff Hagleman for coming out preparing the practice pitch!

Finally…..dust off the boots! Rugby training starts tomorrow 6:30 - 8:30. 254 Doeppenschmidt Rd New Braunfels. Did some mowing and such yesterday (we could have baled it I think). Bring a friend, all are welcome! Those still in the football playoffs good luck this weekend! Leo with Alamo Heights are still playing so wishing y’all the best!

Time to start getting rugby on the mind. Schedule has been sorted. Details soon. Touch get together and quick meeting being planned for Saturday October 9 at the training field. More details on that soon.

Back when your coaches used to have some fun! 2005

Salt came up short in a competitive match to Woodlands II in our first match. Our 2nd match we fell behind quickly to Plano but with great team effort came back to win 22-19. What a privilege and joy to coach these boys after not even knowing if we would get to play this year! Great support from families! One of the pictures is all our seniors.....going to miss you guys but hope to see all of you play in college or a club team!

Championship time up in Austin tomorrow! 10:00 first game against Woodlands II. Rematch of 2 weeks ago. Second game 12:00. Austin Huns Rugby complex located 4107 Nixon Ln. Austin Tx. 78725
5.00 a car. Come out and watch High school rugby! DI and D II matches.

Salt played hosts to the Woodlands on this monsoon day. Kickoff delayed for an hour as we waited for the field to drain off. No one came prepared with snorkels! First half started with a lot of pressure from the Woodlands side. Salt absorbed the pressure and after a kick and chase Salt was awarded a penalty try. Tackling the man without the ball. Woodlands scored 2 trys to close out the half up 10-7. Second half Woodlands took advantage of any Salt mistakes and scored 3 more trys for a deserved win 29-7.
The good news is that we will meet them again in the championship tournament in the first match May 15 in Austin! Nice turnout for such a weather day.

Calm before the storm! 2:00 kickoff Salt vs Woodlands II.......Saturday is a rugby day!
