This Friday evening sees the start of the 2012 / 13 season at the Freeport Rugby Football Club with the annual Presidents Cocktail Party. The event provides the opportunity for members and potential members to pay their fees for the upcoming season.
The club is a non profit organization and relies heavily on memberships etc to run the programs for the year (see below / attached) and keep the club open.
Affordable memberships are available for all players / families and persons who just want to contribute to the club so please come along and sign up on the night. Finger foods and open bar (liquor and wine and beer specials) will be available to those or do sign up.
The Club provides some great youth programs and of course our fantastic Soccer Camp each year and last year was one of our busiest ever when it came to kids programs / games and general activities. In these tough times we are well aware that funds are not easy to come by but whatever membership you choose we will make the most of everyone dollar. For more information on the programs please email the person on the schedule for that particular program or robspeller@hotmail.com at anytime. We look forward to seeing everyone friday from 7pm – 9pm.

FREEPORT, Bahamas — The weekend of May 12th & 13th was set up for a wonderful event. The first annual Tri Nations Junior rugby Festival with teams from the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Bahamas competing for the chance to be crowned the Junior Champions of rugby. It was obvious from the outset that Bermuda had come to win the competition as they arrived in Grand Bahama two days before the tournament was due to kick off to get settled and put in a couple of practice sessions. The tournament was set up by The Freeport Rugby & Football club who had hosted the Cayman Islands the previous year.
Saturday morning saw the festival part of the weekend with teams being split into size categories thereby allowing for a fair and safe competition. There was also a Barbarians side that comprised of players from all three countries who worked and played together in the true spirit of the sport.
Alltogether there was four hours of rugby played and as the festival finished some of the boys asked their coaches for more. This gave one final game where everyone came together and made up two scratch teams with players from all countries playing with and against team mates and foes. All in all there was fantastic takling, wonderful running and some amazing tries scored by all of the teams.
Sunday heralded a more serious attitude, all set off by the playing of the counties national anthems.
The Freeport Rugby & Football Club was very pleased that Sir Jack Hayward could be present for the ceremony and the games as he has continued to be a fantastic supporter of the club. Bermuda won the overall competition with Bahamas and Cayman splitting second place. Many thanks to both teams for visiting Freeport and all the sponsors and helpers who made the weekend an unforgettable one for the kids that played and the spectators and parents who watched.
