Welcome Back Budd Bay

The first match of the fall rugby season could not have been more impressive! And the Bandits get all the credit. The women made a trip down to Portland, OR to play the Lady Pigs at their home pitch. "Home field advantage" was more of a folklore today when the Bandits stormed Portland 22-0. The great weather only further fed the Budd Bay Women's ambition to start this season well. Rachel Rosa had a great match with a penalty try for 3 pts, a conversion for 2 pts and a try from 5 meters for 5 pts. Sam Elmore made an impressive try after running 60 meters to get the ball across. Erika DeLeon scored a 5pt try from 5 meters. Thanks Bandits for an inspiring start to this season.
In addition some of our own rugby community are reeking more havoc in Portland at the Warrior Dash. The Warrior Dash is a fast paced, muddy, barbed-wired, angry obstacle course that most people would not go within ten miles of. But, nothing is too much for Budd Bay and friends. We wish those contenders lots of luck and look forward to hearing about the Dash!
Next weekend the Buffaloes play Kitsap @Rainier Vista and the Bandits follow in a match against Bend, OR. We will see you there.
