THE 3rd ANNUAL FOFR RUGBY FEST HOMECOMING
We had a great turnout for our third annual Rugby Fest Homecoming, Sat. Oct. 22, 2016 and announced a $20.000.00 donation in support of our teams. Thank you to our donors and corporate sponsors. Alumni & fans cheered our Red Ruggers to a hard fought victory over UCONN. This year we added a few new wrinkles.
In addition to club and alumni matches, we honored our sponsors, as well as Fr. Jeffrey von Arx, S.J. and Director of Recreation & Club Sports John Paladino for their service to Fairfield and support of rugby. We heard from Rob King ’80, Past President of the FURFC and current Vice Chairman of USA Rugby; and recognized Paul Sheehy ’85, FU Athletic Hall of Fame 2016 and USA Rugby Eagle. We welcomed Pete Fallon ’65, FURFC Founder and our first Captain, along with Frank Quinn ’66, our first President.
We also recognized the birth of COBRA (City of Bridgeport Rugby Alliance) for youth touch rugby clinics at Grauert Field, under the leadership of Red Rugger Bob Ehlers, ‘79 and Men’s coach Marc Downes. COBRA is supported by the FOFR, the town of Fairfield Rugby Club, and Fairfield University. What a day!
