Folks-
I wanted to let you all
know that the upcoming Rio Grande 40th
Anniversary will be a great event and we are
excited to make the weekend a memorable and fun
for everyone. Please get your RSVP in the
mail as soon as possible.
REMEMBER ALL PARTICIPATION FORMS AND MONEY MUST
BE RECEIVED BY JULY 14TH.
The
deadline is very important so the custom jerseys
can be ordered and arrive on time before the
event.
If anyone would like to play
golf on Saturday morning before the rugby
matches start, you may call the Marty Sanchez
golf course. We have a block of tee times
reserved at the special locals rate for early
Saturday morning. Get a group together and
give them a call at 505-955-4400 and mention Rio
Grande Rugby Anniversary.
Concerning the rugby matches set for Saturday
afternoon. We will be having at least 3
matches so everyone can get a run if they want.
Depending on the numbers of people that want to
play, we will have different format matches,
i.e. over-50s, mixed ages, etc. so everyone can
participate. The rugby will be played
using modified Golden Oldies rules.
See below.
Any questions please call
Greg Smith @ 505-690-2761
Thanks,
The RGRFU Anniversary

GOLDEN OLDIES RUGBY LAWS
The spirit
of Golden Oldies, epitomized in the motto of Fun, Friendship and Fraternity is
the central theme of every Golden Oldies Festival.
1.
These Golden
Oldies rules do not permit offside play, unsportsmanlike behavior and have been
designed to increase the enjoyment of the game while minimizing the chances of
injury.
2.
The normal
U/19 Laws of Rugby as per the International Rugby Board (IRB) shall apply with
the following variations:
a) All 8
forwards must remain bound in the scrum until the ball has been cleared.
b) The half
back must not follow the ball around the scrum
c) There
must be no pressure scrummaging
d) There
shall be no striking against the head by the hookers
e) Players
may kick the ball only in their own 22
f) In
lineouts all 8 forwards must take part
g) Teams
scoring a try shall also restart the game by kicking the ball to the non scoring
team
h) There
shall be no supporting in the lineout
i) From a
penalty there shall be no quick tap, & all players shall retire 10 metres
j) Players
wearing (a special designated t-shirt) may
travel up to 10 metres with the ball before releasing
k)
Substitution of any player is permitted at any time and a player substituted may
return to the game at any time
l) Players
must observe the offside rule, particularly that of remaining behind the
hindmost foot rule at rucks, mauls and scrums, lineouts to a minimum of
10 metres.
m) The game
shall be three 20-minute periods
o) All
players are to observe the restrictions of tackling "older" players. These are
identified by a the special designated t-shirt.
We
will designate a special colored t-shirt for those who cannot go to ground in a
tackle.
Captains
will be responsible for the behavior of their players
Other
variations can be organized at the discretion of the captains providing they do
not contravene Golden Oldies Laws
