Red Ruggers European Tour
In other recent news, the Fairfield University men's rugby team toured Europe during Christmas break. Under the leadership of club president Ryan Handelman '20, the Fairfield University men's rugby team recently returned from a six day rugby tour of Barcelona, Spain and Montpellier, France. Expertly managed by Active Sports Travel, the team was also accompanied by Director of Rugby Tom "Oakie" O'Connor '75 and his wife Mary Lou '83 as well as Assistant Coach Marc Downes and Lori & Bo Minogue (parents of John Minogue '22). As a result of the team's success (1-1) on the pitch, the 24 club members came away with many positive outcomes including improved skills and new social experiences incumbent with their international rugby experience. In addition, the ruggers had many other unique opportunities including a service project running a youth rugby clinic, several cultural activities and tours, enjoying Spanish and French cuisine, and countless team bonding opportunities all contributing to "a trip of a lifetime."
