Below is the final schedule for Saturday’s (April 14, 2012) tournament at college station,a map, and links to maps and parking lots.

Location information: 

Matches will be held at Penberthy Intramural Sports Center

Texas A&M University

590 Tom Chandler Road

College Station, TX  77840 

 It will take about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. 

There will be a caravan heading out from The Woodlands High School.  Plan on a 6:45AM meet time for 7:00AM departure for the earliest set of matches.  For those that start later…if you don’t want to get there early, please be there 1.5 hours before your match. 

The following is from the coordination of the event: 

The tournament will be the same day as a large festival on campus called Chilli Fest. For this reason parking for Gareth Jones will be easiest if you use lots 100m or 100d, which are both located right next to the Penberthy Sports Complex. Please note that part of lot 100m will be reserved for the participants of the Challenger Rugby Game that afternoon. 

For a better idea of where lots 100m and 100d are then visit:

Rugby is one of the most popular international sports in the world and has been steadily gaining popularity in the U.S. Rugby is a sport about intensity, determination, and drive. Rugby players are a special and rare breed of athlete who enjoy a fastpaced, strategic, challenging, and exciting team sport. Rugby provides the athlete with both physical and mental challenges. Rugby also helps athletes improve their fitness and overall health. And anyone can play!

Stand Out from the Crowd!
There is a mystique that comes with playing Rugby in this country. People hear that you play football, baseball, or basketball and they give you a polite “that’s nice.” But mention that you play Rugby and people will pause, take another look at you, and say “Ooh, I hear that’s tough!” Immediately they look at you in a different light. They know enough about the game to understand that it takes a special kind of person to play.

Be Part of the Elite! The bond that forms between not only teammates, but Rugby
players in general, is one that can’t be compared to anything else.

SO GET IN SHAPE…HAVE FUN…
IMPRESS YOUR FRIENDS…TAKE THE CHALLENGE!

JOIN RUGBY!
