The games will be held at Airport Lakes Park on Saturday, Feb. 16 with Div II playing St. Pete at 1:30pm and Div III playing Treasure Coast at 3:30pm.

The fields are being lined today, Friday, Feb. 15 by Matt Wise. He needs people to help @ 3pm, and is offering 5 volunteer hours to whomever can help him.

We are meeting at the fields tomorrow at noon, BOTH sides need to be there
to be selected, support the other side, and be ready to play. Players should call their teammates that they haven’t seen to make sure they come out to fill out the two sides.

IMPORTANT! All Old Boys or other players that would like to play tomorrow MUST be CIPP’d for 2008 in order to play at all on Saturday. Otherwise you will not play! Please be sure to CIPP this evening and bring a print out of the receipt to the games. You can get CIPP’d at USA Rugby. ALSO you need to bring money for dues in order to be able to play. We are asking for $60 which will cover the dues to the union along with social costs, field lining, refs, etc. if you have not paid any dues to this point.

The social will be held at Andy Heller’s bar, the Pit, which is on the corner of Michigan and Conway Road in the Winn Dixie shopping center.

SUNDQUIST, PAUL V., passed away on January 15, 2008, at the age of 53. A former player with the Orlando Rugby Club for the 1983 thru 1986 seasons, Paul was an avid rugger from 1978 to 2000. He played in Orlando, Florida; Park City, Utah; Escondido and on other California teams. Highlights in Orlando include being able to play with two of his brothers; John for several seasons and for a partial season with Dave. Another favorite Orlando memory was playing rugby in a hurricane in the Ft. Meyers Rugby Seven’s tournament the precursor to Beer Foot. The Orlando rugby years were the most memorable and were ample fodder for endless true lies.

The Eagle Scout’s passion was scrumhalf and would fill in at the centers or fullback when the need dictated. Paul had a real love for the game and was quick with the ball and would take it up the center to create another phase. An outdoorsman, a sportsman, and always the consummate rugger, Paul enjoyed rugby’s unique social aspects with his family, friends, teammates, and opponents alike.
Paul is survived by his wife, two children, two grandchildren, mother, five siblings, friends and his kit bag.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, January 26th, at 2 p.m.
