Gentlemen Off To Treasure Island
Some photo's from Nationals this past weekend. Also had Pat Culley's 2nd Annual Tailgate. Pat cooks food for us after the first day of the tournament and the Team joins him after at the parking lot. This year The Great Waisale Serevi was able to join us for food and Kava , so did members of Old Puget Sound and Atlanta Old White
The weekend had us playing some very good seven's and just that the ball didn't bounce our way in the semi. I am very proud of what we as a team accomplished over the weekend, and all your hard work. Thank you very much for all you effort. We just need to keep working hard and believe in what we are doing and good things will happen. Pursuit of Excellence has always been what I wanted for the 7's program , now that 7's rugby is a Olympic Sport our goals should be nothing less.
Like to thank everyone for all your help in making this possible.
See you all in Ruggerfest

Aspen Finishes 3rd
Aspen took third place at the USA Rugby 7's National Championships. Aspen started Sunday morning with a 12-10 victory over Atlanta Old White which advanced them in the Semi-Final against Belmont Shore. However, Blemont proved to be the much stronger side against an injury riddled Aspen by beating the Gentelmen 26-0. Aspen then faced the Denver Barbarians in the 3rd/4th place match. It was very close match that saw Aspen put under a great deal of pressure but they managed to contain a very strong Denver side and finished the tournament with a 12-5 victory.
ASPEN ADVANCES TO QUARTERFINALS
The Gentleman of Aspen beat Old Pudget Sound Beach 17-12, then tied New York Athletic Club 10-10, and then beat Charlotte 33-7, to finish as the top seed in their pool. Next Aspen will play Atlanta Old White at 10:00AM on Sunday
The Gentlemen of Aspen 7's team will travel to San Francisco's Treasure Island this weekend to compete in the USA Rugby 7's Championships. This will be the third straight year that Aspen has reached the 7's Championships after beating Belmont Shore to win the title in 2008, and then losing in the final to Belmont Shore in 2009.
The tournament consists of 16 teams divided into 4 pools. After playing each team in their respective pools the top two teams in each pool will advance to the quarterfinals held on Sunday. Aspen's pool includes Old Pudget Sound Beach, the New York Athletic Club, and Charlotte. Aspen will kick off at 11:20AM against Old Pudget Sound Beach, then again at 1:50PM against the New York Athletic Club, and lastly at 4:40PM against Charlotte.

Saturday August 14th, 1pm at Wagner Touch Rugby Tournament.
If there is one event this year that is a must attend event, then this is it.
SHINING STARS is a Colorado based charity for children with cancer and life threatening diseases. www.shiningstarsfoundation.org <http://www.shiningstarsfoundation.org/>
All of the proceeds from this high profile event will go to the charity and we are charging $10.00 per player which will include a meal served pitch side.
The Rugby Club's responsibilities are simply to turn up and play touch for 2 hours, assist with serving the pulled-pork sandwiches and enjoy the day.
We are also required to take part in the Tug of War competition against the local soccer club at about 4pm.
Given that Soccer is a game for people with no arms, we should stand a good chance of a medal in this event.
Let us PLEASE show our support for the community and the very best of causes by turning out in large numbers. I would appreciate RSVPs so that we can pick teams in advance.
Be sure to wear your Aspen Touch Rugby T-Shirts.
We have a team of Junior players committed from Grand Junction so let's have the Jr Gents and any other Aspen kids turn out in force as well.
If we want the community to recognize Rugby in Aspen, then we must stand up and show what we can all do for our community.
Any questions, please feel free to call me at 650 399 5807. Gary
