Saturday June 8, marks the 2024 Season Home Openers. On this day, we’re welcoming our Alumni to join us and gather with friends old and new and to enjoy the day’s games.
As we all know, rugby players are typically easy to bribe with two things. Beer and Food (and in the case of backs, hair products!). So to encourage our Alumni to leave the comfort of their wing backed armchairs and venture outside into the big wide world, we’re putting on a Hog Roast… it’s gonna be delicious! We’re going to be salivating for another month!
Note – while the (s)eating priority will be given to our Alumni friends, the Hog Roast is open for everyone (not just Alumni)… make sure to buy tickets in advance. Please have your receipt/confirmation handy when you arrive.
In addition to the fun and festivities associated with our home opener, at noon there will be a game of touch for the “Fossils v NOBS”.
Alumni Day Game Schedule:
10:00am – Gallagher Prem. Final (on TV)*
12:00pm – Fossils v NOBS Game (touch!)
12:30pm – Sr Women v Sarnia
2:00pm – Sr Men 2nd XV v Waterloo

WHAT IS AN ALUMNI?
Simply put, “Alumni” refers to someone who has had a significant association with the club but is no longer actively involved or at least not in the same capacity. This could be as a player or a coach but equally could refer to dedicated supporters (including parents). Basically, anyone who has once called Crusaders home.
HOW DO I BECOME AN ALUMNI?
If you read the above and shouted at your screen “that’s me!” then technically you already are an Alumni. That being said, if you want to keep up to date on Alumni matters, you can click on update preferences and make sure you’re signed up for the Alumni list… tell your friends to do the same.
SEEMS TOO EASY, ISN’T THERE SOMETHING MORE?
Well, funny you should ask, if you want to continue supporting the club, become an official “paid up” Alumni member. Click here to make yourself a member.
ANY PERKS TO MEMBERSHIP?
You’re full of great questions today! Well, we’re working on that, but one thing you can avail yourself of right now, is joining our Men’s or Women’s Touch Program for a heavily discounted price of only $30. Wowee! You can also join us on Sunday mornings for Yoga for only $5.
