A Message From Our Founder
We had two goals in mind when we started the Charles River Rugby Club: Strive to play great rugby and have fun. With those two goals in mind, we formed a club that was dedicated to great rugby and also to enjoying the tremendous friendships that only the sport of rugby is able to cultivate. We felt winning would come easy if we achieved those goals. It is more than just playing on the pitch. It is about friendship. It is about camaraderie.
