Morris Men’s Rugby players Will Kimball, Cale Petermann and Will Garcia were chosen to represent the New Jersey Selects in an invitational match against Lansdowne Football Club.

One of the oldest and most renowned rugby clubs in Ireland, Lansdowne FC played 4 matches in 11 days against U.S. teams — marking their first visit stateside in nearly 40 years.

Monmouth Rugby Club hosted the third match of Lansdowne’s tour at 6 pm on Thursday, June 6, 2019 at Thompson Park in Lincroft, NJ.

Leading up to the invitational fixture, two tryouts yielded the NJ Selects’ match-day 25, with three Morris standouts making the cut.

Lansdowne’s 2nd XV came out on top in the “Triumph Cup,” although the NJ Selects put up a good fight in kits donated by Rugby United New York.

Morris’ own Cale Petermann was named man of the match for his two-try performance in the 24-38 loss, and Will Garcia also dotted down.

Congrats gents! You make the Morris Rugby community so proud.
