MORRIS MASTERS RUGBY

Morris Masters in Ireland

Morris Masters is a collection of old boys who still wear the jersey of Morris Rugby but may be either a little on in years or unable to train as hard as they once did when they were a little younger ... OR BOTH.

Our motto is, "The older we get, the better we were."

The weekend did not start well.  A cough that I picked up “working” the the Morristown Brewfest in March materialized into an actual cold on Friday.  I felt like crap.  Standard marathon training calls for carbo-loading before the event.  Treatment of the common cold calls for drinking plenty of fluids.  Hmm.  With a game tomorrow,…

Morris Masters: Elvira the Albino Rhino and the Googolteenth Annual Jim Mccloskey Memorial Canoe Trip

By Ralph Scoville BEEP  . . . BEEP . . .  BEEP.  Samuel Adams. Brewer.  Patriot.  The twin diesel exhausts competed with the leaf-blower whines for audio supremacy on this otherwise quiet morning in the sleepy Bergen County town.  Neighbors yawned nonplussed as they came out to get the morning papers, nothing out of the…
