Events & updates

Stay up to date with all the matches, events, and tourneys of the Wolfhounds, Grayhounds, and the Midwest Rugby Development Foundation here.

Some Important Info to Note:

  • In the East, Columbus Rugby Club has been relegated to Division 2 and replaced with the Cleveland Crusaders being promoted up. The Eastern Conference will remain at six (6) teams playing each other home and away for a total of ten (10) matches. The top of the table side will go directly to the Midwest Championship on November 12.
  • In the West, Milwaukee chose to self-relegate. The Union explored a number of replacements, but none could be found. With that, the five (5) teams will play each other home and away for a total of eight (8) matches. The top two (2) teams at the end of the season will then play a semifinal match to (ninth game) to determine who represents the Western Conference in the Midwest Championship.
  • All games are defaulted to begin at 1pm CST/ 2pm EST. Any deviation from this standard kickoff should be communicated to the opponent and the Midwest Referee Society as soon as possible, but at least four (4) weeks in advance.

Practice Schedule

Twice a Week Practice

We practice every Tuesday and Thursday through Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. We have special training sessions, events, and touch Saturdays that pop up throughout the year, so stay tuned.

Second Side

Spring and Fall Seasons

During the Division I seasons, our Second Side laces up to play other Club’s second sides each Saturday. Information is typically distributed as the season locks in. Stay tuned as the information changes quickly.

Our Facilities

CRFC maintains the premier rugby piches in the midwest - Brimelow Fields. We have two regulation-size picthes with natural grass, scoreboards, and stadium lights. Located near Cincinnati, Ohio it is easily accesible and accomodating. Several national tournaments are hosted there as well as club, college, and high-school events. Brimelow Fields: 6440 Stockton Rd. Fairfield, OH 45242   

Our Clubhouse has hosted legends of the league and rugby in general. We host international players, Grayhounds, teams, and events throughout the year here. Some of our fondest memories have been made, and continue to be made, in this 5 bedroom house with a meeting room/bar in the basement. The huge back-yard hosts our socials and parties where we can bond with eachother and others.

The snack shack at Brimelow fields offers tasty, as well as healthy, treats along with meal-type options, drinks, and merchandise for patrons and players during game and tournament days. We have a liquor license that allows us to sell beer or daily memberships for beer as well. The snack shack is volunteer-operated and all income goes to club improvements. 

Alcohol

  1. NO CARRY IN ALCOHOL
  2. ZERO TOLERANCE
  3. Any/all alcohol brought in will be confiscated upon entry.
  4. All confiscated alcohol will be kept on ice and enjoyed by the day’s volunteers after you have gone home

If caught with alcohol on property, you will be EJECTED and not refunded (parking / tournament entry / etc.)

1. You could try to pull the old, wait-till-the-tourney-is-done-and-then-breakout-the-beer-when-they-all go home. So, I guess, if you want to bring it in... Thanks, I guess, but your alcohol will be confiscated.

  1. Alcohol is for sale- You must be 21 to purchase alcohol.

NOTE:  Helicopters are free… because that would be sweet!

  1. NO PARKING in driveways down the street, your vehicle will be ticketed and towed. Not by us. But they will gladly have you removed

Pets

1. We’re cool with dogs, as long as they’re on a leash and well behaved

2. Please remember to bring your own plastic bags for cleanup

3. Cats?? Cats are jerks and probably don’t like rugby anyway - they’re into tennis and crap like that… whatever, if you want to bring your cat, you can… same rules apply though.

4. Other animals? Don’t be that guy/girl and be the weirdo that brings a snake or lizard or something.

Do these rules seem familiar? Aside from the basic fact that this how almost EVERYONE runs a tournament, we did get some help. We liked the “House Rules” for the Firehouse 7s so much that we borrowed them for our tournament. Thank you, Chicago Blaze!
