Rugby No More - An Obituary

It is with great sorrow that I announce that the Girls Rugby team has succumbed to its numeric concerns after a long life of one month. To its final days, it demonstrated its tremendous will to live with 11 players showing up for practices but sadly, that was not enough. On Wednesday, March 5th at approximately 12 pm, the Girls Rugby team became all but a memory. It was adored by many, including both its new and returning players who spent countless hours by its side. During its lifetime, the Girls Rugby team was like a ride on a rainy day, a ray of sunshine in a storm, a beacon of light in the darkness. It was unbelievably caring, dedicated and inclusive, preventing anyone from feeling out of place. Practices were always a joyous occasion. The Girls Rugby team is survived by the Grade 8 Boys Rugby team, the Junior Boys Rugby team and the Senior Boys Rugby team, all of which are in good health. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Ms. Diomis and Coach Kris for their time, effort and caring support during this difficult time. In lieu of condolences, and if so desired, participation at practices next year would be greatly appreciated. Girls Rugby team, you will remain forever in our hearts.
