Dear Met player:
We will be taking a
developmental side to the Fort
Lauderdale Ruggerfest. This trip has
come about due to player interest.
The Met has been there many times
before and has walked away
tournament champions 4 times with
one-second place last year.
We take great pride in our
performance down there. The Super
League Teams and some of Division 1
sides, for the most part, have their
schedules in place for this
particular weekend. We have
assembled a good side consisting of
up and coming players from Old Blue,
New York/Manhattan, and Union. We
have added a few exciting college
players. I think, at this point, we
may have room for up to five more
players. In particular we are
looking for a second row player,
some hard running backs, and a scrum
half. These have to be the best
players on your club. We are going
down as developmental, but the sides
in Fort Lauderdale are going to be
gunning for a typical competitive
Met side. That is our rep, and we
need star players for your club.
This trip is at player expense.
If players go to cheaptickets.com
and can go Friday to Monday morning
return, than ticket prices are
workable. We have hotel rooms booked
and have a player fee of $50.00 to
cover the tournament fee, vans,
tees, and social.
Potential candidates should
email Colin Kiley/Met/Northeast
Developmental Coach at
coachcbk@aol or call late
afternoon at 860-355-1725. This is a
great opportunity for young players
to get involved in the Met program.
I may add that this is a very
good time.
