<![CDATA[Albany Knickerbockers Rugby Club in Albany, NY - News]]>Wed, 22 May 2013 22:01:12 -0500Weebly<![CDATA[Men Kick Off Season]]>Sat, 30 Mar 2013 13:52:23 GMThttp://www.albanyknicks.org/4/post/2013/03/men-kick-of-season.htmlThe club side starts its spring 2013 season on the road today against longtime rival White Plains.  It’s been a while since the 2 sides have played against each other.  Albany will be traveling with 35 players down to White Plains High School.  The strong recruiting continues as 10 new Knicks will be on debut.  If not for the holiday weekend and work commitments the club would easily be traveling with 45 plus.  The “club first ethos” is paying off.  It will be a tough outing as White Plains already has some games under their belt and play in Division I, but the Knicks are hoping to make the trip back up the thruway with 2 hard fought wins.

Her insurance had run out the week prior to the injury and thus she was only on the USA Rugby insurance. D now has over $6,000 out of pocket expenses after the rugby insurance pays its portion.

Friend and teammate Lauren "Skeeter" Sirkin has set up a fundraiser at Spiak's pizza place to help D out.   The hope is that we could help lower this burden a little.  

Details!
When: Thursday, November 29 from 5pm-8pm
What: For $10 at the door, you have a buffet of all you can eat pizza and wings. There will be a band and a cash bar!
Where: Spiaks 
           2 Archibald St, Watervliet


Those who coach teams: this is a restaurant so you can invite the little ones! Invite your high school and college teams.

Invite everyone you know! Join the facebook event! The more the merrier! 

Please contact Skeeter for more information
