The Budd Bay Rugby men's team made history this weekend in Seattle. The Buffaloes played the Seattle Quake and won 48-24. This makes the Buffaloes winning streak 7-0, which is a first in BBRFC history. Coach Jerry Quirke is ecstatic about the sportsmanship and effort displayed in the match. "Everyone played their best rugby" Jerry said. Ryan Cole earned title of "Man of the Match" with 3 tries, 1 penalty and an amazing 6 out of 6 conversions. Taylor Briscoe also had three great tries and Triston Selchlin made one penalty kick.
The Buffaloes complete the first half of their season triumphantly. This is all thanks to the wonderful support from the Budd Bay Bandits, fans, members, coaches and the talented rugby players who make up the Buffaloes. The men get a small break, but are back to training in January. We can look forward to their first match in February 2010!
On December 3rd the Budd Bay Buffaloes will hold a team meeting at Ballyhoo at 7pm. This meeting is mandatory for players, but anyone interested in joining the men's team is encouraged to come and see what Budd Bay Rugby is all about!

Buffaloes Improve to 5 - 0
Last weekend, the #1 and #2 teams clashed in Lacey, WA. At the final whistle, the Buffaloes improved to 5 - 0 in league standings, an impressive feat for any rugby team. The men were vigorously challenged for all 80-minutes by the Kitsap Renegades, but their commitment to the game and the team's cohesion helped keep the Buffaloes on top throughout. This match also marked the 2nd Annual Olympic Shield Challenge, commemorating the fist match ever played by Budd Bay RFC against the men's rugby brethren from Bremerton, WA. The final score was 57-0. Budd Bay retains the trophy for another year, until next fall when the two will meet again to vie for the Olympic Shield. Congratulations Buffaloes.
The friendly match scheduled for this weekend against Microsoft RFC has been canceled. The next match for the Buffaloes will be on November 14th against the Eugene Gentlemen in Eugene, OR.

Budd Bay Welcomes Lena & Ryan
At the last board meeting, Budd Bay RFC confirmed the appointments of two new directors for our club. I encourage you to welcome both Lena Neal and Ryan Cole the next time you see them. It is the dedication and commitment of folks like Lena and Ryan that keep our club going strong.
Lena, our newest club Secretary, will take over all the recording and outreach duties of the position. She will need the assistance of our team coaches and coordinators to get the word out to our club mates and local press outlets. Lena became aware of Budd Bay RFC while working at Ballyhoo, one of our club sponsors. She soon came to know and love most of the senior teams players and has enjoyed going to games, learning the rules and culture of rugby. Lena says, "I want to help the club continue to grow so that the community can appreciate what the Budd Bay RFC brings to youth and adults in the area."
Ryan will fill the Director-at-Large slot. Ryan comes to us from the 2009 men's team, where as inside center he has quickly become a force on the pitch. We can expect many good things from Ryan during his time on the board. Ryan says the club has brought a lot of happiness and pride into his life and he hopes to help the club progress to the next level, on and off the pitch. "The things that happen behind the scenes affect how our club can grow and prosper, which is what I want to see continue to happen. I'll only be able to play the sport for so long, but serving as a board member and advisor is something I'll never get too old to do..."
Many thanks to both Lena and Ryan for stepping up to help work for the betterment of Budd Bay RFC and grow our fantastic sport in the area. If you would like to contact Lena or Ryan, their information can be found on our web page, http://www.buddbayrugby.com/contact_us.php. If you would like to send a message to all the directors, you can do so at directors@buddbayrugby.com.
Cheers,
Dan
