Rugby: Away at Brevard – This Weekend 11/22
As next weekend is directly after Thanksgiving, by mutual agreement the game is being played a week earlier – this weekend, Sat 10/22. Kickoff is 2pm at Provost Park (400 S. Varr Ave, Cocoa). It’s the southwest corner of S.R. 520 and Fiske Blvd.
Directions:
From Orlando take Colonial/SR50 East (or take the Beachline/SR528) to SR520 and head east.
Pass under I-95 and continue East about three miles. Turn right on Varr St, which is just before Fiske Blvd. The park is on your right.

Saturday marked the start of the new fall/spring season with Orlando playing host to the Bay Area Krewe. Orlando started the scoring off with an early try left of the posts from a well driven ball down the field. Darren “snikets” Chapman touched down to give Orlando a 5-0 lead after the conversion was missed. About 15 minutes passed before Krewe scored their first try to level and then took the lead with a successful conversion, 7-5. In the second Orlando was again the first to open the scoring with a try off an arrant Krewe backline pass that Blake and Jason Weir used to score. The conversion was missed again making the score 10-7 Orlando. Krewe scored later missing the conversion and taking the lead 12-10. Orlando wasted good territory by several poor line outs. With about 10 min left Orlando was awarded a penalty deep in Krewe territory however the attempted was pushed just right of the posts. The final Orlando10 – Krewe 12.
A special thanks to Jason Weir for his membership over the last 3 years. Jason was our MVP of 2008 and is leaving later this week to join the U.S Army. All of us at ORFC are proud to call you our teammate and thank you for your service to our country Jason. Take care, God Bless.
