Resurrection

Hello all,

My name is Jon Bull I have been playing Rugby since 1991. I recently relocated from Florida to Alpena MI for family reasons and I reached out to Cd Brennan about restarting the North Shore Maulers. I started playing Rugby for the University of Massachusetts (Worcester campus) in 1991 where we went to the Div. III 1991 and 1992 New England Rugby Union Championship where we placed first and second respectively. Since then I have played for the University of NH, Div. II, (Plymouth Campus) Rugby Team, The Worcester All-Blacks and The Miami Men’s Rugby team and the Brevard Red Eye RFC in Cocoa, FL., both of which were was Div. 1 teams in 1996 to 2000. I recently relocated from Florida to Michigan and would like to restart the North Michigan Maulers Rugby Club for RFU play either in Boyne or Alpena. I would also like to see about fielding a Michigan Side for the Old Man of the Mountain Tournament hosted by the Worcester All Blacks at Cannon Mountain in NH in June of every year.

This is a three day tournament that is hosted by the Worcester All Blacks every June and also includes grilled meat, seafood (Including NE Lobster!) and of course, lots of beer. Male and Female Rugby Players from all over New England and Canada and attend every year. Overnight camping is encouraged and there are local hotels for people who prefer to sleep in a bed. The tournament is also open to Women’s rugby teams as well as Men and there are also costume competitions and theme parties as well. Let’s bring Rugby back to Northern Michigan!
