About Saratoga RFC

                                                         The Saratoga Stampede Rugby Football Club was established at a pub in Saratoga, NY in November of 2005. With a full 2006 schedule, a General Membership Meeting was held on January 16th, yielding a turn-out of 35 interested ruggers of mixed experience (many years to none). The first spring practice was held on March 21, 2006, in preparation for the April 1st intrasquad Garnet & Gold Game. Saratoga Rugby played its first game on April 8, 2006 @ Rutland RFC, tied its first home game against Albany Law RFC on April 23rd, 2006 and notched its first win vs. Saranac RFC on May 20, 2006. Its first home victory came against Rutland on September 9, 2006.
