Portland 10 Wolfhounds 37
We came out strong against one of the best teams in division 1. The action started fast and furious and we found ourselves up 10 nil at the 20 minute mark. The wolfhounds battled back and as we broke for the half they led 17 - 10. The second half was hard fought and all though we never gave up they put a few more on the board. It was nice to shake off some of that winter rust and compete with a playoff bound team right out of the blocks.We look forward to a rematch, and best of luck in the playoffs to a well coached side from Boston.

THE RUGBY BOYS HAVE A GREAT SHOWING AT THIS YEARS LOBSTER DIP
The Boys came out in force to support the Special Olympics on New Years Day. A brave group of about 15 team members braved the cold and took a dip at this year Annual Lobster Dip. In all about 207 people dipped for the good cause, unofficial numbers are in at about $20,000 dollars raised for the charity. The money raised will help Maine Special Olympians reach there dreams of gold.
Special Congrats to CC who never felt water as cold as this in South Africa and was brave enough to not only dip once but twice. Special Thanks also to Jess...who filled in for Leo - He still hasn't overcome his fear of the water-. For those of you who weren't there this was a positive step forward in bringing the old boys and are team together as one team. Lets keep this up it can only be a positive for the future of the club and our goals.
This was a great effort in pushing the Portland Rugby Club into the community limelight....In a positive way. Thanks to everyone who was invovled and who supported the dippers.
Note to Players: MAKE THE EFFORT TO TRAIN!!!! THE SEASON IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
