October 16, 2010 is All Florida Day at Hickory Point Park in Tavares, Fl.

Men’s Clubs:

This year, the All Florida Day will be an old fashioned Florida Cup as it was in the 70’s and early 80’s.  Format will be finalized within the next two weeks.  Plan on 2 games on Saturday and one on Sunday.   There will be two divisions. I need to know if you plan to enter two teams.  Please contact me at nrfcken@cox.net.

This tournament will replace the format of the Florida Cup we have had for the past few years.  It’s up to the individual teams to schedule whatever tune-up matches you need.  If you need help scheduling matches, let me know.

Men’s Collegiate Clubs:

There will be one game scheduled for each collegiate team on Saturday October 16. All Star tryouts will be held on Sunday.  Please contact me at nrfcken@cox.net if you are bringing 2 teams.

Florida Cup format is being developed for the upcoming season.  Please let me know what games you have scheduled to date and what weekends are not available for your club.  I will follow-up with more details within a few days.

Women’s Clubs:

Melissa Butler will publish format and schedule when finalized.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news before the summer 7’s season but there are still three teams who haven’t paid their dues for the spring and have repeatedly stated that the “check is in the mail.”  I need check in hand at this point or you can call me with credit card information and I will process it that way.

These teams are:

LYNN UNIVERSITY MEN

PALM BEACH MEN

TREASURE COAST MEN

Please have your treasurers call me if they have any questions.

Thank you,

I now it’s a busy weekend for Florida Rugby with Krewe playing in the Final 4 and the Referee Clinic, but this is the first time Collegiate Rugby will be broadcast live on network television.
