Griffins make MW 7's Playoffs

The Griffins Men's Qualifier side placed third this weekend in the Rock Hard 7's tournament in Grand Rapids. Congratulations to the guys for a job well done! The team moves on to the Midwest 7's playoffs, which will be held in Elkhart, IN this Saturday at the Moose Lodge grounds. Please note that no pets or alchohol are allowed on the Moose Rugby grounds.

Here are the directions if you're coming from Chicago:

From the West: (Chicago/Wisconsin) Take your favorite and fastest route thru the city and get on the Indiana tollway 90 east. (90 east will turn into 80-90 toll way as you near Indiana. Travel east toward South Bend/Elkhart. Exit the toll way at Elkhart #92. See below for further……

From Toll Booth to Fields: After paying toll, stay left. At the stop light (Cassopolis Rd/Hwy 19) turn left or south. Travel back over the Interstate, and continue south thru the first light with Olive Garden/Menards on your left as a landmark. At the next light, turn right or west onto County Road 6. McDonalds and Marathon are the landmarks here. Travel west on CR 6 passing the Wal-Mart and fire station on your left. The airport will also be on your left and when you see the corporate tower, start looking on your right for the Moose entrance. Enter the Moose parking area drive between the buildings thru the main gate. You are now on the rugby grounds. Follow the drive around the fields to the back parking area. Restrooms are under the pavilion.

Everyone come on out and support the guys this weekend

GRIFFINS 1st ANNUAL WING EATING CONTEST

The Griffins held their first Annual Wing Eating contest last Saturday at the Black Rock - a great time was had by all, as players, participants' parents, friends, girlfriends, and Old Boys cheered the participants on to an hour of some serious consumption of buffalo wings. Luke Aubrey, one of our newest - and youngest players, finished his wings off first, but it was Jojo Bucci who ate the most - 57 wings in an hours. Pictures are up from this event.

Thanks to the brave players below who participated and sacrificed their stomachs for a good cause, as a portion of the funds raised will be donated to ALS for their research for treatment of the disease.
