This year we celebrate the 14th Annual Rudy Kelly Memorial Alumni Match on Saturday Nov. 26, gathering at 12 Noon at Pocono Rd., Denville, playing until around 3pm. We will play 20 minute periods until everyone has had enough. We will have the current club side play against the most recent grads.
This year’s social will be held at The Moose Lodge, 21 Sammis Ave., Dover starting around 3:30. Cost to attend social, $15 per person, $50 max. for a family of 4 or more. Social will have finger foods, soda and adult beverages served through a cash bar.
As in the past, we will be accept donations towards a worthy cause. This year, collections will be for the Goryeb Children’s Hospital in Morristown, given in the name of John Gallagher and Morris Rugby. We will accept Cash donations as well as gift cards in $5 to $25 increments. The hospital is also in need of new or used video games for Wii,Xbox 360 and PS3. John Gallagher, a 2016 Lions grad, is undergoing treatments at the Children’s Hospital battling cancer in his foot. Any assistance will be appreciated. We will have other goodies for sale, Alumni Jerseys, past t-shirts, and Senior Polo’s. Yes we have a series of extra Senior Polos from may different years. So if you are looking to move to a larger size or perhaps for your parents, I may have just what you are looking for. You will be able to purchase a Polo only for your graduating class.
We hope to see as many of you there as possible. Remember we gather rain or shine!! It’s a great afternoon remembering all our former and fallen teammates.
See you soon,
Coach John
